If there's more than one way to do a job, and one of those ways will result in disaster, then he will do it that way.
Great stage.

Two man break able to hold and finish 1-2. Good sprint, King really wanted it.

Bad time keeping? Only so much you can blame on that when they were within visual range. Also when the break is a world tour domestique and continental rider.

Great footage of the winning finish with a sick high speed camera but they botched the peloton bunch finish for third by panning off to some train tracks in the distance.

Don't they have any good roads in California? Why are they alway riding down a 12 lane freeway?

They could have an amazing parcours here but the whole thing is a huge scam and they trick cities into paying for hosting stages and the associated costs so the route is dictated by whichever towns they can con into it. Lots of big highways and downtown finish loops

Lots of good riding around here

This stage is fitting me needs. At the moment there's a bunch of people who could go into pink. Looks like amador at the moment.

The tour of California has no running times for the tv broadcast for a time trial stage so the commentators have no idea whos doing what time. They've just been called shambolic on Eurosport.

The tour tracker is app a million times better to watch than Europort. Hopefully the tour uses this tech because it's like going back to caveman times watching Eurosport.
