Back to 2015 Tour of California |

Friday, May 15: Stage 6, Santa Clarita 10.6 km (6.6 miles) individual time trial

Stage 6 map and profile |

Stage winner and overall leader Peter Sagan enjoys the fruit of his work.

The Race: Wow! Peter Sagan showed he can race against the clock. Can he ever! Sagan finished the short time trial a quarter-minute faster than any other rider today.

Originally scheduled to be longer time trial that would beat run at altitude, the Bike Bear venue had bad weather forecast, forcing the venue change to sea level near the Magic Mountain amusement park.

It will be interesting to see how Sagan does tomorrow. Stage seven ends with a hilltop finish at Mt. Baldy.
