Peter Sagan (Cannondale) po finiszu z peletonu wygrał ostatni etap Amgen Tour of California. Drugi linię mety przekroczył Daniel Schorn (Team NetApp-Endura), a trzeci Tyler Farrar (Garmin-Sharp). Triumfatorem imprezy został Tejay van Garderen (BMC).
Ósmy, ostatni etap Amgen Tour of California prowadził z San Francisco do Santa Rosa i liczył 131,4 km. Był to typowy sprinterski etap i na finiszu można się było spodziewać walki Sagan vs. Reszta Świata. Na ucieczkę zdecydował się trójka zawodników: Antoine Duchesne (Bontrager), Thomas De Gendt (Vacansoleil-DCM) i Jason McCartney (Bissel). Duża grupa cały czas kontrolowała sytuację, nie pozwalając harcownikom uzyskać przewagi większej niż 4 minuty i 30 sekund.
Najdłużej próbował walczyć Duchesne, ale został on wchłonięty przez rozpędzony peleton około 10 km przed metą. Ostatnie kilometry to formowanie pociągów, w czym prym wiedli kolarze Garmin i Cannondale.
Najszybciej finisz rozpoczął Peter Sagan (Cannondale) i nie dał szans swoim rywalom. To 10 zwycięstwo Słowaka w sezonie, a jednocześnie jego 10 etapowa wygrana w Amgen Tour of California. Drugi był dziś Daniel Schorn (Team NetApp – Endura). a trzeci Tyler Farrar (Garmin – Sharp). Zwycięzcą klasyfikacji generalnej został Tejay van Garderen (BMC).
W pierwszej grupie przyjechał Bartosz Huzarski (Team NetApp – Endura), który ostatecznie zajął 19 miejsce w generalce. Maciej Bodnar (Cannondale), przyjechał kilka sekund po najlepszych, ale to także jego praca była ważna w kontekście sukcesu Petera Sagana.
Najlepszym młodzieżowcem wyścigu został Lawson Craddock (Bontrager). Klasyfikację punktową wygrał Sagan, a najlepszym góralem został Carter Jones (Bissel Pro Cycling). Najlepszą drużyną była ekipa zwycięzcy wyścigu czyli BMC Racing Team.
