Robin Zellner Race Quotations

This race is super important for us. The Tour of California is one of the biggest races in the United States -- this and (the Tour de) Georgia -- and we're racing against European teams. We will have to step up to it.

A mountaintop finish would have helped the situation. I was real surprised that (many finishes) came down to a field sprint. ... Although those kinds of races are exciting, a mountaintop finish is probably needed.

For us, it's become our most important race. But it's February. The European teams could see this as purely a training race because guys are gearing up for the Tour de France.
