May 14/17 19:43 pm - Tour of California: Stage 1 results
Posted by Editoress on 05/14/17
German speedster Marcel Kittel (Quick - Step Floors) collected his first career Amgen Tour of California stage victory and the Sprint Jersey as the week long, 583-mile (938 km) stage race began today in Sacramento, California. World Road Race Champion Peter Sagan (BORA-Hansgrohe), known as the "King of California" for his race record 15 stage wins, crossed the line in second today with Team Sky's Elia Viviani rounding out the podium in third.
"It's a nice start to the [Amgen] Tour of California. Some teams tried to go for the crosswinds but the wind was not strong enough. I'm very happy with how my team handled the sprint," said Kittel. "It gives us confidence for the races to come. We got rid of a lot of pressure today, and we can look forward to the rest of the race and go relaxed in the next days."
Rob Britton (Rally Cycling) was top Canadian finishing 22nd at 4 seconds back.
