May 14/15 19:20 pm - Tour of California: Stage 5
Posted by Editoress on 05/14/15
Huge crowds turned out in a downpour to witness another sprinter showcase at the Santa Clarita finish line for the 10th anniversary Amgen Tour of California, with Etixx – Quick-Step Pro Cycling Team’s Mark Cavendish taking his third stage win in five days of racing, making him the winningest professional cyclist so far this season.
Within the first mile of leaving Santa Barbara, a breakaway of five jetted off, including Danilo Wyss (BMC Racing Team), Alex Howes (Team Cannondale-Garmin) and, the youngest rider in the peloton of 128 riding today, 19-year-old Geoffrey Curran (Axeon Cycling Team). Hailing from Hilton Head, S.C., Team SmartStop’s Chris Butler bridged to the group on the final KOM of the day at Balcom Canyon.
Etixx – Quick-Step Pro Cycling Team and Hincapie Racing Team again did much of the work on the road at the front of the group weathering wind, rain and chill, with Hincapie successfully protecting the yellow jersey their young Latvian rider Toms Skujins won Tuesday. Veteran Amgen Tour of California riders have seen this course before from the 2007 and 2008 race editions, but not in such inclement conditions.
“… freezing to absolute bone…,” said Cavendish, who had crossed the line on the same course first in 2008 only to be counted out after a disqualification. “It was good all around… It’s nice to see so many people out here despite the weather.”
The field steadily caught up to the breakaway in the final miles of the race. Wyss, the last rider standing, remained out front for about 92 of the 95.7 miles of Stage 5, presented by Visit California, but was reigned in over the final couple miles as the sprinters queued up for an explosive finish. In the last meters, several sprinters could taste the stage win, including UnitedHealthcare Pro Cycling Team’s John Murphy, Drapac Professional Cycling’s Wouter Wippert, and Trek Factory Racing’s Danny Van Poppel.
Nearing the line, Cavendish answered Sagan’s stage win yesterday with a powerful burst to the finish, gaining points in the Sprint competition over the Slovakian, who has taken the green jersey home for five years running and finished third today. Cavendish now has eight career Amgen Tour of California stage wins to Sagan’s 12. Zico Waeytens (Team Giant-Alpecin) claimed second place with BMC Racing Team’s Jean-Pierre Drucker in fourth and Van Poppel in fifth.
Sagan shaved several more seconds off his overall distance from the race leader, now back only 18s. The stage shook things up elsewhere among the leader board with Julian Alaphilippe (Etixx – Quick-Step Pro Cycling Team) sliding up to third place (+44s); 2012 race champion Robert Gesink (TeamLottoNL-Jumbo) moving into fourth (+47s) and in position to pose a serious threat; and Hincapie Racing Team’s Dion Smith rounding out the top five (+47s).

Cavendish Wins Rain Soaked Sprint Stage
Third Win in Five Stages
Etixx - Quick-Step rider Mark Cavendish had to launch his sprint from longer than usual on Thursday in a rain soaked 154km Amgen Tour of California Stage 5. Despite having to close a small gap from behind, he still won his third stage out of fives stages, this time in Santa Clarita. Zico Waeytens (Giant-Alpecin) was 2nd and Peter Sagan (Tinkoff-Saxo) was 3rd.
The original breakaway was down to Danilo Wyss (BMC Racing Team) inside the final 10 kilometers, but Etixx - Quick-Step was on the front and the peloton caught him with 3.2km to go in the stage after a long day of chasing in miserable conditions. Yves Lampaert was on the front and doing his best to set a fast tempo, while also tracking down Mark Renshaw guiding the Manx Missile. The Belgian rider and his two teammates rejoined right before the final kilometer, and then it was up to Renshaw to have to guide Cavendish for an extended leadout. Peter Sagan (Tinkoff-Saxo) was on his wheel.
Waeytens launched his sprint at the front from long distance, but Cavendish still passed well before the line for the stage win.
Cavendish has now won 12 times in 2015, and earned the 26th road win for Etixx - Quick-Step this season.
Julian Alaphilippe moved up to 3rd GC, down 44 seconds going into the individual time trial tomorrow. He remains the Best Young Rider. Cavendish extended his lead in the Points Competition from a single point over Sagan to six points (55).
"The thing is, when you're going so fast there's the wind chill as well," Cavendish said. "It's one thing to be wet and to be cold when you're wet, but with the wind coming on you're freezing to the absolute bone. But it was good. All my teammates, thank you. It was hard to catch them back in the final but my team really looked after me. It was also nice to see so many people out here despite the weather. As for the sprint, I had Mark Renshaw at the end, and as always he was cool and calm, but we had to dig deep. It was a bit hectic in the last kilometer and Mark Renshaw was cooked, so we couldn’t go as fast as we wanted in the end. It was a headwind finish, and I knew I didn’t want to jump early. Waeytens went first and I timed it well enough to catch him before the line. I’m super happy to get the stage win for the team today."
"The team worked from kilometer zero again today," Sport Director Brian Holm said. "Hincapie did a good job helping us chase today, and Tinkoff-Saxo after the win yesterday supported us in front as well. After we kind of blew it yesterday we made it good again today with a win, and the third win in five days. The rain didn't bother us. We're a Belgian team. We love rain and we're hard to beat in the rain. The bad weather was perfect for us. So everything came together perfectly today. As for the next days, Julian Alaphilippe is now 3rd in the GC. Tomorrow's time trial has been moved to Santa Clarita due to bad weather conditions at Big Bear Lake. It was a fast decision by the race organizers and I give them credit for changing the location so early. Then the day after we have the Mt. Baldy finish. It's a very nasty climb, not fun at all. Alaphilippe is going to try his chances to defend his position in the overall, but we will see as he came here directly after the Ardennes Classics, which means he might be a little tired. But we'll see how far he can make it. He has the spirit to always try and we know wherever he finishes will be the best he could do that day."
