ProCycling New.com includes quotes and notes from David Millar and Christian Vande Velde after the stage 5 time trial at the Tour of California.

Christian Vande Velde on team morale: “I think my grin says it all; I’m just trying to let it sink in. I feel really comfortable on this team. I really thought we’d do great. All the work we have put in is really starting to pay off. Hopefully we can continue this momentum for the rest of the year. I’m just proud to be here and be a part of this team.”
