May 15/19 19:53 pm - Tour of California: Stage 4
Posted by Editoress on 05/15/19
Three-Peat for Deceuninck – Quick-Step With Another Stage Win
The Amgen Tour of California Stage 4 ended with the expected sprinter shootout – Jasper Philipsen (UAE Emirates) launched the final attack to the finish line, trailed by three-time World Champion Peter Sagan (BORA-hansgrohe). With just metres to go, Fabio Jakobsen (Deceuninck – Quick-Step) rocketed past both to claim the team’s third stage in three days. Nacer Bouhanni (Cofidis, Solutions Credit) followed the trio across the line in fourth place.
Sagan, who won the 2017 Morro Bay stage on this same finish route, took third place and moves into the green jersey, which he has worn regularly during his years at this race.
Meanwhile, the peloton encountered the unexpected. When race leader Tejay van Garderen (EF Education First Pro Cycling) came off his bike and suffered a mechanical issue with about 5 miles (8km) left to ride, teammate Lachlan Morton offered up his bike and the team worked to pace their leader back up to the main group. A crash at the back of the peloton that affected multiple GC riders neutralized the time gap that resulted, with the leader board ending up unchanged after today’s stage.
A rain-dotted ride from WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca to Morro Bay featured the iconic coastal views of Central California’s Highway 1, which has reopened after a massive effort by Caltrans to repair damage from a 2017 landslide.
The breakaway that held for most of the 133.3-mile (214.5 km) stage included two current National Champions – Jonny Brown (Hagens Berman Axeon) and Roy Goldstein (Israel Cycling Academy) – as well as Brown’s teammate Ian Garrison, Joonas Henttala (Team Novo Nordisk), and Michael Hernandez (Team USA).
Hernandez was the last to be caught with just over 5 miles (8km) to go and earned the Breakaway from Cancer® Most Courageous Rider Jersey. USA Cycling National Team will have two riders in jerseys tomorrow with teammate and reigning U.S. U23 National Champion Alex Hoehn retaining the polka dot jersey.
Top Canadian on the stage was Alex Cataford (Israel Cycling Academy) in 26th at the same time as the winner. Rob Britton (Rally UHC Cycling) remains in 6th in the GC at 33s back.
