of view, it?s good to see this in its first year,? said Pat McQuaid, president of the UCI. ?I have no doubt that the potential is here to grow and develop this race into a big, big spectacle in both the state of California and the
United States .?

Stage five tomorrow will bring the riders 105.3 miles from San Luis Obispo to
Santa Barbara . The stage will follow the central coast until the sprint city of
Guadalupe, where the field will leave the flatlands and head east to the Santa Ynez Mountains via the Solvang area that?s so well-known to many pro riders. The riders will then face the four-mile Category One climb to
San Marcos Pass before descending to a beachfront finish in
Santa Barbara . Stay tuned to Roadcycling.com for more race action.
