Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) wygrał szósty etap wyścigu Amgen Tour of California z metą na Mount Baldy. Słoweniec został również nowym liderem klasyfikacji generalnej.
W szóstym dniu rywalizacji kolarze startujący w wyścigu Amgen Tour of California musieli zmierzyć się ze słynnym dla tej imprezy – i jednocześnie bardzo wymagającym podjazdem – pod Mount Baldy. Teren posiadał tendencję wznoszącą właściwie od 80. kilometra etapu.
Ucieczkę dnia stworzyło ośmiu zawodników. Znalazł się w niej siódmy na piątym etapie Paweł Bernas z CCC Team. Poza Polakiem jechali w niej: Owain Doull (Team Ineos), Hugo Houle (Astana), Lennard Hofstede (Jumbo-Visma), Michael Storer (Team Sunweb), Herman Pernsteiner (Bahrain-Merida), Matteo Badilatti (Israel Cycling Academy) oraz Mikkel Bjerg (Hagens Berman Axeon).
16 kilometrów przed metą z uciekinierów na czele pozostali tylko Hofstede, Houle, Fabbro oraz Bernas, mając minutę przewagi nad peletonem, w którym tempo dla Richiego Porte’a nadawała drużyna Trek-Segafredo. 14 km przed metą do czołówki dojechał Maximilian Schachmann, który w związku z tym, że po pięciu etapach miał tylko 22 sekundy straty do lidera Tejaya van Garderena, stał się wirtualnym liderem.
Na początku Fabbro i Hofstede zdołali trzymać koło Niemca, ale wreszcie kolarz drużyny BORA-hansgrohe został sam na czele wyścigu. Ostatecznie jednak Schachmann został doścignięty.
Niewiele ponad cztery kilometry przed metą z sił opadł Van Garderen. 3,9 km przed metą jako pierwszy zaatakował George Bennett (Jumbo-Visma), do którego dołączyli Pogacar, Sergio Higuita i Richie Porte. 3,4 km kontratakował Pogacar, za którym zdołał pojechać jedynie Higuita. Ostatecznie to obaj panowie powalczyli o zwycięstwo – Słoweniec lepiej wszedł w ostatni zakręt i wyprzedził kolarza EF Education First.
