Nevada City Classic as Lance Armstrong's Tour de France Prep

Today Jon raced in the 49th annual Nevada City Classic. This is his 7th year in the pro field at this race and he's been 5th place twice. But somehow today's 6th place feels like his biggest result at this race given who he was racing with...

Lance Armstrong got 1st by lapping the field with Ben Jaques-Maynes (2nd) and Levi Leipheimer (3rd) then attacking hard in the last quarter of the race... dropping everyone.

Jon got a front row call up which was largely nullified by the parade lap.

Axel face planted on the sidewalk but seemed to recover well. Leah continues to wear the chapeau de poulet.

Lance leading the pack, Jon is riding fifth wheel.

Axel found a cutie wearing a yellow trek jersey.

Lance on his victory lap. He looks like he had a good hard tour prep today.

Jon lets us know he got sixth... either that or he's doing some sort of jazz hands.

Happy Father's Day, Jon!
