The prologue has been completed. ALGE TED 400 system transmitted impulses from the finish line at Coit Tower to the start line at the Embarcedero. TT*ware and TDC 8001 used to provide live information to the announcers, radio tour, media, etc.

Cyclingnews' WAP Service for Tour of California
As the Tour Of California winds it's way South from the San Francisco Bay Area to the greater Los Angeles area, cycling fans don't have to miss a moment of the action thanks to a free WAP service provided by Cyclingnews.
Just enter the link http://live8.cyclingnews.com/wap/ into the browser on your handheld device or WAP browser enabled telephone and you can follow the minute by minute, attack by attack action at the 2006 Tour Of California from our crack live commentary team of Kristy Scrymgeour and Mark Zalewski.
Cyclingnews publisher Gerard Knapp explained why the CN WAP service is the best way to follow the 2006 Tour of California while on the move: " We have spent a lot of efforts to ensure our Cyclingnews WAP service works really well. After a lot of testing and research, we know it is far superior to SMS updates. And Cyclingnews is the only web site in the world that has free WAP service."
Knapp noted that "Anyone with a WAP compatible handset or handheld device can get our WAP Service link and watch our Live coverage for no charge from CN, although the user may have to work out a data package/browsing rate from their mobile phone company." And the WAP Service isn't just for the California Tour. In fact, whenever Cyclingnews offers our unmatched Live coverage from anywhere in the world, cycling fans can follow all the racing action on the go via this innovative, free service.
