Cuban sprinter Ivan Dominguez (Toyota-United) surprised the big-name ProTour sprinters by taking the final circuit stage on the Long Beach seafront. He beat Australia?s Graeme Brown and German talent Gerald Ciolek (T-Mobile) to give his team a big win after a hard week of racing. CSC lost the battle with rivals Discovery Channel for overall victory but won the team prize after winning three stages.
