Deceuninck – Quick-Step Wins Second Consecutive Stage
For the second day in a row, a Deceuninck – Quick-Step cyclist claimed his first WorldTour stage win at the Amgen Tour of California, with 23-year-old French rider Rémi Cavagna spending hours on a breakaway ride several minutes ahead of the peloton.
About an hour into the race day, a breakaway including the USA Cycling National Team’s reigning U.S. U23 National Champion Alex Hoehn and Cavagna built their lead to over 10 minutes and ended up spending 100 miles out front of the peloton.
Stage 3 featured a 129.2-mile (208 km) ride from Stockton to Morgan Hill, including the first HC (above category) climb of the race at Mt. Hamilton. A pack of EF Education First Pro Cycling riders led the peloton, protecting their race leader Tejay van Garderen, pulling the gap down by a couple of minutes as the stage progressed. Van Garderen came over the Morgan Hill finish line with his six-second overall race lead intact to retain the Amgen Race Leader Jersey, in the same city where he picked up the 2018 yellow jersey for two days following the Time Trial stage in last year's race
Cavagna attacked Hoehn at the base of Mt. Hamilton (68 km to go) , lengthening his lead on the way up to crest the summit and continue the rest of the stage solo, securing the Breakaway from Cancer Most Courageous Rider Jersey for his efforts. Coming over that summit second as well as on the final King of the Mountain (KOM) climb of the day on Quimby Road, Hoehn moves into the lead in the KOM competition and will wear the polka dot jersey tomorrow.
Simon Geschke, a Tour de France stage winner riding for the CCC Team, broke away from the pack to chase the leaders at around 15 miles (24km) remaining and was soon joined by Ben King (Team Dimension Data). The duo caught Hoehn about two miles (3km) from the finish line, with King sprinting to the second-place stage finish, and Geschke taking third.
Top Canadian was Alex Cataford (Israel Cycling Academy) in 24th who finished with the bunch at 7:47 back. Rob Britton (Rally UHC) is top Canadian in the GC, sitting 6th at 33s back.
