La notizia del giorno al Giro della California è che non ha vinto Peter Sagan. Del resto la 5ª tappa era una cronometro individuale, non proprio la specialità dello slovacco della Liquigas Cannondale. La vittoria è andata a David Zabriskie (Garmin Barracuda) che ha preceduto un ottimo Jens Voigt (RadioShack Nissan Trek) e il connazionale Tejay Van Garderen (Bmc Racing Team).
La classifica generale è stata quindi sconvolta, con Zabriskie leader e il giovane Van Garderen a 34″ e con ottime possibilità di puntare alla vittoria finale, non essendo Zabriskie uno scalatore. Attenzione però anche a Robert Gesink (Rabobank), terzo in classifica con un ritardo di 39″, a Andrew Talansky (Garmin Barracuda) e a Peter Velits (Omega Pharma Quick Step) rispettivamente a 48″ e 49″. Più staccato invece Vincenzo Nibali (Liquigas Cannondale) che deve recuperare 1′ 52″ dalla testa della classifica. Le tappe di oggi e di domani risulteranno comunque decisive.
