Monday, May 11: Stage 2, Nevada City - Lodi, 193.7 km

Stage 2 map and profile |

The Race: Today's stage was a close one and not just at the finish. A four-man break left the pack in the early kilometers. Luis Romero, Markel Irizar, Daniel Oss and Robin Carpenter had a lead at one point of more than four minutes.

The pack finally decided that the escapees, several of whom are good, solid top pros, should not be playing off the front without supervision and an effort to close the gap was begun. Etixx-Quick Step did most of the work, but with 15 kilometers remaining, the break still had almost two minutes.

It was only in the final five kilometers that the break was at last caught. But meanwhile, a nasty crash had occurred, sending at least one rider to the hospital.

In the sprint, Mark Cavendish hit the front with Peter Sagan trying to come around him. Sagan couldn't do it, but he was so close the judges checked the photos to deliver a final decision.

Having won the race's two stages, Cavendish remains the overall leader.
