Team RadioShack's Chris Horner Retains the Lead After the Longest Stage of the Race
PASO ROBLES, Calif. (May 19, 2011) - With the sun shining and an
enthusiastic crowd cheering, 21-year-old Peter Sagan (SVK)
of Liquigas-Cannondale raced across the finish line, narrowly
beating Leigh Howard (AUS) of HTC-Highroad and Ben
Swift (GBR)
of Sky Procycling, who placed second and third, respectively, to
clinch the Stage 5 win during the 2011 Amgen Tour of
California in
a time of five hours, 16 minutes and three seconds. The longest
stage of this year's race, the 135.1-mile route was originally
intended to travel along California's iconic Highway 1, but had to
be modified last month when landslides blocked the road after late
winter storms. The new route tested the riders' endurance and
delivered a spectacular sprint to the finish in Paso Robles, Calif.,
after winding its way through one of the most beautiful stages in
the history of the race.
