Skujins does it again at Amgen Tour

Published May 19, 2016 06:57PM

Heroics paid off again for Toms Skujins, who won Thursday’s stage 5 at the Amgen Tour of California from a long break, much like he did last year in stage 3. Cannondale’s Latvian went clear of a large breakaway group with two other riders inside of the final 30 kilometers of the 212km day. The 24-year-old handily out-sprinted Rally’s Adam De Vos, who was second, and Sky’s Xabier Zandio, who was third, in South Lake Tahoe. Behind, race leader Julian Alaphilippe (Etixx – Quick-Step) finished with the peloton to keep the yellow jersey.

“Two wins and two wins from Lodi! I luckily managed to get in the right [break],” Skujins said, referring to the day’s start town. “We had a pretty big group, and as is always the case, not everyone was committed. In the end it worked out pretty well. Once I hit out the second time and two guys bridged up we were pretty much in the clear.”

Stage 5, top 10

Top-10 overall

A huge break of 18 riders went clear early in the day. Some of the notables in the group were BMC’s Danilo Wyss, Trek’s Jasper Stuyven, Axeon Hagens Berman’s Logen Owen, and Giant – Alpecin’s Caleb Fairly.

At one point, their lead was more than five minutes. With about 59km to go, Skujins attacked for the KOM at Kirkwood, but then he kept cruising ahead of the break, followed by De Vos.

With about 48km to go, across the second KOM, the main breakaway caught the lead duo. About 4:30 behind, a small chase group of 10 riders snuck off the front of the field.

With 31 kilometers left, Skujins attacked the break again. Alone at first, he was soon joined by three riders from the original move: Zandio and De Vos. Their lead held at three minutes to the peloton, and about 1:10 to the chasers.

The lead trio clung to their 50 seconds over the chase and 2:50 on the peloton into the last 10 kilometers. A few kilometers later, the second group on the road began to splinter as Etixx – Quick-Step’s Nikolas Maes tried to chase back the escapees. Those efforts were for naught, but a move by Wiggins’s Owain Doull stuck, and soon he was joined by Stuyven, and Katusha’s Jacopo Guarnieri.

Around the sharp right turn with two kilometers to go, the three leaders held their advantage into the final hill. They began to play tactical games and Stuyven, riding alone, was slowly closing the gap behind. But the effort came too late.

De Vos opened the sprint, coming around the final left-hand turn before the finish straight. Skujins was right on his wheel and with a burst of speed, won the race with enough breathing room to celebrate.

“I didn’t want to start my sprint too early, especially at altitude,” Skujins added. “But once we came around the corner I was pretty sure I could get it.”
