King rules California stage 2, takes overall lead

The sprinters’ teams were stunned Monday at the Amgen Tour of California as a tenacious two-man breakaway succeeded with Ben King taking top honors in stage 2. The 27-year-old Cannondale rider timed his sprint perfectly to come past Rally’s Evan Huffman in the final meters to win the 148.5km stage and earn the GC lead in Santa Clarita. It was only his third career pro win, and the first American win at the Amgen Tour in two years.

“I know Evan is a pretty quick sprinter — he smoked me in both of the king of the mountain sprints, so I was hesitant to let it come down to a sprint because I couldn’t drop him on the climbs,” King said. “Then we both fully committed to making the break stick to the finish, and I was able to come around him in the end.”

Along with King and Huffman, the day’s early breakaway included William Barta (Axeon Hagens Berman) and Sindre Lunke (Giant – Alpecin). They faced a tough route with 3,444 meters (11,300 feet) of climbing, courtesy of three category 2 climbs, and one category 1.

After riding with a lead of more than seven minutes on the peloton at one point, the gap began to fall as the race rode the two climbs of Little Tujunga Canyon. Lunke was first to be dropped from the front group. Over the penultimate climb, 34km from the finish, the gap was 3:15.

When the lead trio reached the top of Little Tujunga, one final time, their gap was three minutes. Behind, a mix of BMC and Trek – Segafredo riders drove the chase.

On the descent, with 26km to go, Barta had a problem with his bike and his team car quickly provided assistance. He managed to chase back to King and Huffman after a few kilometers alone.

World time trial champion Vasil Kiryienka also had trouble, crashing on the descent.

Inside of the final 10 kilometers, the escapees were less than one minute up the road, and the peloton had them in sight. Soon, Barta was dropped.

For a little bit, the lead duo’s situation looked dire, but they clung to their lead. By the final kilometer, King and Huffman had an insurmountable 50-second advantage, despite the addition of Katusha to the front of the peloton to chase.

“I didn’t tell Evan this, but with one kilometer to go, my legs started cramping,” King added

Huffman led out the sprint relatively early. King timed his jump perfectly and came around his right, charging to the line to win the day and take the yellow jersey. Behind, Katusha’s Alexander Kristoff got the better of world champion Peter Sagan to take third on the day.

“I thought we had a good chance to make it to the finish and in the end we did,” said Huffman. “It kinda sucks to be that close to winning a stage but Ben was just a little bit stronger. Not too much I could have done.”

On Tuesday, the tour offers a pivotal uphill finish on Gibraltar Road, a 12-kilometer climb that averages eight percent, coming after 167.5km of riding from Thousand Oaks to the finish in Santa Barbara County.
