FollowStage 1: Santa Rosa 186.5km
И докато част от колоездачния елит се бори в Италия, Европа, то на другия край из горещата Калифорния битката започна.
Тук срещаме Peter Sagan (Liquigas-Cannondale), който не пропусна да грабне първия етап, надкарвайки Heinrich Haussler (Garmin-Barracuda) и Fred Rodriguez (Team Exergy). Късметът беше със Sagan, защото 10 км. преди финала претърпя спукване на гума, а малко преди финалните три километра избегна на косъм падане.
С победата Peter Sagan оглавява генералното класиране.
