CSC OFFERs FANS A ‘Bird’s EyE’ view of the 2007 Amgen Tour of California
Computer Sciences Corporation (NYSE: CSC), the official information technology (IT) sponsor and a "founding partner" of the 2007 Amgen Tour of California, announced that it will provide wireless global positioning system (GPS) object field tracking to help fans follow riders and teams throughout the race. The Amgen Tour of California is a Tour de France style cycling road race which will feature 18 of the world’s top professional teams competing along a demanding 650-mile course from San Francisco to Long Beach, Calif. this February 18-25.

The GPS capability is part of CSC's new OmniLocation suite of location awareness technologies designed to provide safety, security, and accountability services to its clients worldwide. The tracking technology will provide cycling fans with a near real-time detailed view of select race leaders and vehicles at www.amgentourofcalifornia.com. Using GPS and general packet radio service (GPRS) technology, the tracking solution will offer a “bird’s eye” view of multiple objects moving at speed and in close proximity along with information detail previously available only at ground level.

CSC will supply the data, which will allow the entire field to be seen visibly moving over the race course. Tagged riders will carry 90-gram field trackers, which communicate data through the T-Mobile GSM network. Yahoo! Maps geographic information system will display rider locations through Adobe Presentation media. CSC will also provide a Google Maps view of the riders and race vehicles at www.csc.com/toctracker.

CSC also will present stage five of the Amgen Tour of California, the Solvang time trial on Friday, Feb. 23, and receive enhanced on-site and broadcast exposure on network partner VERSUS that day, including promotional announcements, company themed interviews, active participation in the awards ceremony and course signage.

“The Amgen Tour of California is the perfect vehicle for CSC to showcase some of the things we’re most proud of,” said CSC President and Chief Operating Officer Mike Laphen. “These include our leading edge technology solutions, the number one cycling team in the world – Team CSC – and the state of California, which is home to our headquarters.”

Team CSC, the number one pro-cycling team and winner of the team competition in the inaugural Amgen Tour of California in 2006, will return to compete in the 2007 race. Throughout the eight days of the race, the riders will compete against 17 other world-class teams as they seek victory for a second consecutive year.

"We are looking forward to defending our great results from last year at the Amgen Tour of California and perhaps even more,” said Bjarne Riis, owner and manager of Team CSC. “We definitely made our mark in the premiere edition and we are very motivated to come back and ride in the front. It is a great race and we intend to make CSC and our other US-based sponsors proud.”

"Our goal is to build upon the Amgen Tour of California fan experience year after year, and we are thrilled that CSC will be employing its innovative technology to us to help accomplish that, especially by enabling fans to get even more involved in the race by being able to pinpoint how the race leaders are doing from their desktops," said Shawn Hunter, president of AEG Sports, presenters of the race.

Volunteer 2007 Amgen Tour of California
With More than 1 Million People Expected to Attend, 4,000 Volunteers
Needed to Staff this Year's Professional Cycling Race
Race organizers announced that volunteer opportunities for the 2007 Amgen Tour of California cycling road race are now posted online at the official tour Web site www.amgentourofcalifornia.com. Volunteers can apply online for positions ranging from course marshal and hospitality host, to security, media relations and medical support.

"Volunteers are vital to making a race of this caliber a success," said Shawn Hunter, president of AEG Sports, presenters of the race. "Without the support of the communities we travel through, the Amgen Tour of California wouldn't be able to accommodate the more than 1.3 million fans and world-class roster of athletes that are part of the race."

More than 4,000 volunteers in communities throughout the state participated in last year’s inaugural race, helping make the largest sporting event in the state of California a seamless and successful race from start to finish. In each of the host cities, as many as 350 local volunteers were recruited to help staff the race.

The majority of volunteers are needed to serve as course marshals, providing support for the 75 professional course marshals that travel with the tour and the local law enforcement authorities in each city. Course marshal volunteers have an opportunity to be on the race route, close to the cyclists, with responsibility for monitoring pedestrian traffic, barricades and street closures.
Volunteers must be over 18 or accompanied by an adult. The online sign-up form offers volunteers the opportunity to rank their top-three job preferences and every attempt is made to match volunteers to their area of interest.
