Robert Gesnik (Rabobank) powraca do formy po złamaniu kości udowej w październiku. Holender wygrał górski etap oraz objął prowadzenie w Amgen Tour of California. Drugi na mecie był wyrastający na górala światowej klasy Darwin Atapuma (Columbia Coldeportes), trzeci Fabio Duarte (Columbia Coldeportes).
Dzisiejszy, siódmy etap prowadził z Ontario na Mount Baldy. Meta po 126 kilometrach znajdowała się na podjeździe. Najszybsze tempo podyktował tam Robert Gesink. Na jego kole został jedynie 26-letni Darwin Atapuma. Kolumbijczyk w tym roku pokazał się szerszej publiczności, gdy wygrał ostatni etap Giro del Trentino z metą na Passo Pordoi. Holender pokonał mniej doświadczonego rywala w końcówce. 14 sekund stracił do nich Fabio Duarte.
W klasyfikacji generalnej Gesink wysunął się na prowadzenie. Na drugie miejsce spadł David Zabriskie (Garmin-Barracuda), który do rywala traci już 46 sekund. Na trzecie wskoczył kolejny Amerykanin i kolarz Garminu, Tom Danielson.
