Phinney attacked on the descent of San Marcos pass and went in to time trial mode to win stage 5 of the Tour of California. The young American is making this type of win his trademark after a similar feat in Poland last year.
With such a big engine, Phinney’s style will inevitably draw comparisons to Fabian Cancellara. Considering a bunch with classics riders like Sagan, Goss and Van Avermaet were chasing hard, the win must feel all the sweeter for the BMC rider.
Everything going right for BMC right now on both sides of the Atlantic. On Saturday’s mountain stage, it’s over to you Cadel!
Bradley Wiggins keeps his GC lead over Rohan Dennis with 3 stages left.
