Back to 2014 Tour of California |

---

Tuesday, May 13: Stage 3, San Jose - Mt. Diablo State Park, 174.5 km (108.5 miles)

The Race: On the lower, easier slopes of Mt Diablo, four riders were away, a little over one minute in front of the peloton. Maarten Wynants, Paul Voss, Robbi Squire and Luis Davila were the remnants of a larger break that had taken off almost from the gun.

While Sky led (and strung out) the pack up the climb, Squire, Davila (champion of Mexico) and Voss were able maintain the gap. As the break crossed the 7.5 km to go point, the lead had shrunk to 40 seconds.

Race leader Bradley Wiggins took the responsibility of leading the pack up the mountain and with 5.5 km to go Luis Davila was still dangling 15 seconds off the front. And then Wiggins with the pack (23 riders strong) in tow just rolled by Davila.

Carter Jones, the 2013 Tour of California KOM, blasted off at three km remaining, but Wiggins (without teammates) was unworried by Carter and just kept tapping out his rhythm. A kilometer later Carter was vacuumed up.

At the half-km to go the attacks started to go. Rohan Dennis, jersey unzipped, just rocketed away to win the stage. Wiggins stormed in 20 seconds later, allowing him to keep his now somewhat reduced overall lead.
