Giro di California: Sagan allo sprint

Peter Sagan, il giovane talento della Liquigas Cannondale, si aggiudica allo sprint la quinta tappa del Giro di California, da Seaside a Paso Robles di 217,4km. Lo slovacco ha preceduto Leigh Howard (HTC Highroad) e il britannico Ben Swift (Sky Procycling), già vincitore della seconda frazione.

Chris Horner (Radioshack) mantiene senza problemi la maglia di leader. La sesta tappa, una cronometro individuale di 24km, potrebbe però cambiare la fisionomia della classifica.
