Alaphilippe wins Tour of California queen stage

He won the Amgen Tour of California’s queen stage last year, and Julian Alaphilippe repeated the feat Tuesday on Gibraltar Road in stage 3. The Etixx – Quick-Step all-rounder bridged to a late attack by Trek – Segafredo’s Peter Stetina and then won the day handily on the tough climb outside Santa Barbara. LottoNL – Jumbo’s Kiwi George Bennett finished third behind Stetina.

“I waited for that moment,” said the 23-year-old winner. “Last year on Mt. Baldy I think I went too early, I wanted to go at the right time. I wanted to wait until the last moment.”

“I’m more of a steady climber; I don’t have a huge punch like Julian [Alaphilippe] here,” Stetina said. “Unfortunately it ended up being about 700 meters too short, I kinda ran out of gas, but I had to race that way to give myself the best chance for victory in the next week.”

The early breakaway comprised seven riders: Julian Arredondo (Trek – Segafredo), Oscar Clark (Holowesko – Citadel), Greg Daniel and Krists Neilands (Axeon Hagens Berman), Evan Huffman (Rally), Tanner Putt (UnitedHealthcare), and Andy Tennant (Wiggins).

The peloton kept the leaders on a short leash, knowing the stage’s importance for overall standings. The seven didn’t get much more than three minutes’ advantage on the bunch.

Huffman occupied himself with the three KOM prizes, which came prior to the day’s final above-category climb, tightening his hold on the polka-dot jersey. Tennant picked off the stage’s two bonus sprints.

Inside of the final 30 kilometers, the break’s organization began to falter. Cannondale rode tempo to keep the lead to a little over two minutes. Huffman and Clark were the first breakaway riders to get dropped, just outside 24km to go. Then, Tennant lost touch with the break as Putt drove the pace.

With about 21.5km to go, Putt and Daniel dispatched the remaining two, while the peloton was merely 90 seconds behind.

One of the pre-race favorites, Sky’s Peter Kennaugh, crashed prior to the Gibraltar Road climb. He was forced to abandon the race.

As the 12-kilometer climb began, Daniel set off alone. Behind, the day’s leader, Ben King, who won stage 2, was dropped as Cannondale focused its efforts on leader Lawson Craddock.

Ten kilometers from the finish, the leader was caught by Danilo Wyss, who had slipped off the front of the field. As Daniel faded back, his Axeon teammate Powless moved forward, riding off the front after sitting on the Swiss champ’s wheel.

Powless stretched his lead to 30 seconds, but he began to fade. The chasers nailed back his gap to 20 seconds by 5km to go. Jelly Belly’s Lachlan Morton attacked from the group, and he was followed by Stetina.

“I just knew that I needed some time on the TT specialists,” Stetina said. “I’d ridden this climb before, and I knew it got harder with 5k to go. I also knew Lachlan was in the same boat I was in terms of having to be aggressive early. So I earmarked him as a guy to go with. When he went I felt like it was the right time.”

The duo caught Powless with four kilometers left. Stetina tightened the screws just before the final two kilometers and distanced his companions.

Then, Alaphilippe, who was biding his time in the chase group, unleashed a devastating attack. He bridged to Stetina before the final kilometer of racing. He sat on the American’s wheel for a moment and then attacked to win the day.

Wednesday’s stage 4 will run from Morro Bay to the Laguna Seca Raceway near Monterey, California. The 217-kilometer stage will have two categorized climbs in the final 20 kilometers.
