Peter Sagan (Tinkoff) wygrał po finiszu z peletonu pierwszy etap wyścigu w Kalifornii i został liderem imprezy.
11. edycja Amgen Tour of California rozpoczęła się dzisiaj etapem ze startem i metą w San Diego. Na liście startowej było 18. ekip, a numer jeden należał do ubiegłorocznego zwycięzcy, Petera Sagana (Tinkoff). Niestety Polacy nie startowali.
Etap wokół San Diego liczył 175 kilometrów, a w połowie dystansu na kolarzy czekał dość ciężki podjazd Honey Springs Summit (9,5 km długości; 5,5 % średniego nachylenia). To była jedyna przeszkoda mająca utrudnić sprinterom walkę na dzisiejszym etapie.
Wyścig rozpoczął się standardowo. W ucieczkę zabrali się: Daniel Patten (Team Wiggins), Daniel Eaton (UnitedHealthcare Pro Cycling Team), Jacob Rathe i Michael Sheehan (obaj Jelly Belly p/b Maxxis), Oscar Clark (Holowesko-Citadel Racing Team), Joonas Henttala (Team Novo Nordisk) i Danny Pate (Rally Cycling).
Pierwszą lotną premię wygrał Sheehan. Kolejne kilometry to sukcesywne powiększanie przewagi. Jedyny oznaczony podjazd pierwszy pokonał Clark, który jutro wystartuje do kolejnego etapu w koszulce lidera klasyfikacji górskiej.
35 kilometrów przed metą przewaga zmalała do 90 sekund. Kolejny lotny finisz także wygrał Sheehan. Z ucieczki postanowił zaatakować Rathe. Po chwili dojechali do niego Clark i Patten. Na czele peletonu kręciła przede wszystkim Katusha. Ucieczka przeszła do historii na trzy kilometry przed metą.
Finiszowe metry to popis mistrza świata – Petera Sagana (Tinkoff)! Mimo tego, że zaczynał sprint bardzo daleko nie dał szans innym rywalom. Drugi był Wouter Wippert (Cannondale), a trzeci Dylan Groenewegen (Lotto NL Jumbo).
