California’s All-Time Stage Leader and Two-Time World Champion Peter Sagan Set to Return to Race for 6th Consecutive Year<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Peter Sagan, the 2015 overall Amgen Tour of California winner and record holder with 15 stage victories since riding for the first time in 2010, will headline an all-star peloton when America\u2019s most prestigious cycling stage race launches the 12th edition in May, 2017. Pasadena will shine at the finish line of the 2017 Amgen Tour of California, as it hosts the overall finish of the 12th edition of America\u2019s Greatest Race.<\/p>\n

The 2017 Amgen Tour of California men\u2019s competition is set to begin in Sacramento on May 14, 2017, while the 2017 Amgen Breakaway From Heart Disease Women’s Race Empowered with SRAM will begin three days earlier on May 11 in South Lake Tahoe, it was announced today by AEG, owners of the annual event. The women\u2019s competition will conclude its four-stage race in Sacramento on May 14 as the men begin their seven-stage, 600-mile event set to conclude in Pasadena on May 20.<\/p>\n

The remaining Host Cities (start and finish destinations for each stage) were also announced and include Big Bear Lake (Men\u2019s Individual Time Trial), Modesto, Morro Bay, Mt. Baldy, Mountain High, Ontario, Pismo Beach, San Jose, Santa Barbara, Santa Clarita, and first time Host City Elk Grove which will host the Stage 3 women\u2019s competition start.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Amgen Tour of California has long been the most esteemed cycling race in America. Its designation as a UCI WorldTour event will continue to expand its international exposure and attract the best teams and cyclists yet, giving fans even more to cheer about from the streets of California next spring,\u201d said Kristin Klein, president of the Amgen Tour of California and executive vice president of AEG Sports.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled the Amgen Tour of California overall finish will occur in Pasadena,\u201d said Michael Ross, chief executive officer of the Pasadena Center Operating Company, \u201cThis signature event attracts top cyclists from around the world and brings international awareness to our historic and world-class city. It is a tremendous privilege that Pasadena will get to play a part in such a storied sporting event for the fifth time.\u201d<\/p>\n

THE KING OF CALIFORNIA RETURNS
\nSagan, one of the most popular cyclists ever to compete in the Amgen Tour of California will be racing for his recently launched BORA-hansgrohe team hoping to add on to his current record of 15 stage wins including two in 2016. The 2015 and 2016 (current) World Champion will be racing in the Golden State for the 7th consecutive year.<\/p>\n

\u201cRacing in the Amgen Tour of California is always one of my top priorities every year. While spectacular to watch from a scenic standpoint, the route is consistently tough and challenging and one that brings out the best in all of the riders,\u201d said Sagan. \u201cThe incredible fans and all of the cities of California that we get to visit truly makes the Amgen Tour of California one of the best experiences of the year for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also returning to California in 2017 is 2016 Amgen Breakaway From Heart Disease Women’s Race Empowered with SRAM defending Champion and current UCI Womens World Tour Champion Megan Guarnier racing for the Boels\u2013Dolmans team.<\/p>\n

“The Amgen Tour of California has been a superb addition to the Women’s World Tour calendar,\u201d said Guarnier. \u201cAs an American, I feel so fortunate to have the opportunity to race at the highest level on American soil. The Amgen Breakaway From Heart Disease Women’s Race Empowered with SRAM creates the most professional platform to showcase women\u2019s racing alongside the long-running men’s race, and the organization ensures that there is media coverage surrounding the event further elevating the exposure of our event for our current, and I dare say our future, fan base.<\/p>\n

The Amgen Tour of California features a variety of terrains, allowing different types of athletes shine; with the hilly stages and the sprint stages it allows us to demonstrate our breadth of talent within the women’s peloton. I am personally excited to return to the Amgen Tour of California and the rare opportunity to race on home-soil in my current home-State,\u201d continued Guarnier. \u201cI always love racing in front of the home-crowd. It energizes me and pushes me to top performances.”<\/p>\n

The 2017 race will mark the first year the men\u2019s race has been elevated to UCI WorldTour status, making it the only stage race in North America to receive this prestigious classification. The upcoming race will also be the tenth consecutive year that a women\u2019s competition will be held as part of the Amgen Tour of California.<\/p>\n

Amgen Breakaway from Heart Disease Women’s Race empowered with SRAM<\/p>\n

Thursday, May 11 Stage 1 South Lake Tahoe
\nFriday, May 12 Stage 2 South Lake Tahoe
\nSaturday, May 13 Stage 3 Elk Grove to Sacramento
\nSunday, May 14 Stage 4 Sacramento<\/p>\n

Stage 1 \u2013 South Lake Tahoe, May 11, 2017
\nThe women will start things off with a race around one of the most beautiful race routes in the USA: the Lake Tahoe Loop. The final climb will lead riders up to the finish at the Heavenly Mountain Resort.<\/p>\n

Stage 2 \u2013 South Lake Tahoe, May 12, 2017
\nWhile the race will have a common start and finish at the Heavenly Mountain Resort, the route is entirely new to the Amgen Tour of California. Given that South Lake Tahoe is surrounded by mountains, this will be a difficult day for the peloton. The riders will face summits in excess of 7,300-feet leading to what promises to be a climatic finish.<\/p>\n

Stage 3 \u2013 Elk Grove to Sacramento, May 13, 2017
\nThe Amgen Tour of California welcomes the City of Elk Grove as a first-time Host City. The women\u2019s penultimate stage will feature one of the most beautiful parks in Elk Grove, before heading south to the California \u201cDelta Region\u201d. While this stage is flat and a welcome relief for the tired legs coming out of the mountains surrounding Lake Tahoe, the winds in the Delta can be menacing and unpredictable. The Sacramento River will lead the riders into Sacramento for an exciting sprint finish in front of the Capitol building.<\/p>\n

Stage 4 \u2013 Sacramento, May 14, 2017
\nA fan and racer favorite, the women will take center stage on the finishing circuits around the State Capitol building in Sacramento. The day of racing will be fast and furious and one to remember. If you love watching the men on these circuits, wait until you see the women tearing up the road as they protect the yellow jersey and deliver their sprinter to win on this final day of racing for the women.<\/p>\n

Amgen Tour of California (Men\u2019s Race)<\/p>\n

Sunday, May 14 Stage 1 Sacramento
\nMonday, May 15 Stage 2 Modesto to San Jose
\nTuesday, May 16 Stage 3 Pismo Beach to Morro Bay
\nWednesday, May 17 Stage 4 Santa Barbara to Santa Clarita
\nThursday, May 18 Stage 5 Ontario to Mt. Baldy (Summit Finish)
\nFriday, May 19 Stage 6 Big Bear Lake (Individual Time Trial)
\nSaturday, May 20 Stage 7 Mountain High to Pasadena<\/p>\n

Stage 1 \u2013 Sacramento, May 14, 2017
\nThe California State Capital hosted the Amgen Tour of California overall finish in 2016, so it is only fitting that it returns for the overall start in 2017. This will be a flat and fast stage that will conclude with exciting finishing circuits.<\/p>\n

Stage 2 \u2013 Modesto to San Jose, May 15, 2017
\nIt is great to be returning to Modesto. This will be a difficult mountain stage with six climbs and an uphill finish. Fans can expect all of the race favorites to be in the top 10 on the leader board after the conclusion of this stage.<\/p>\n

Stage 3 \u2013 Pismo Beach to Morro Bay, May 16, 2017
\nCalifornia\u2019s Central Coast and San Luis Obispo County have long been race favorites over the years. This stage will feature another start near the ocean in Pismo Beach and a first-time finish near the harbor in Morro Bay. The stage is designed for a craft sprinter who can handle an uphill sprint to the finish.<\/p>\n

Stage 4 \u2013 Santa Barbara to Santa Clarita, May 17, 2017
\nStage 4 returns to a favorite race start along the beach in Santa Barbara. This will be a familiar course for many of the riders and will feature a fan favorite \u2013 Balcom Canyon \u2013 concluding with an expected mass sprint finish in Santa Clarita.<\/p>\n

Stage 5 \u2013 Ontario to Mt. Baldy, May 18, 2017
\nMt. Baldy, the Queen Stage! A 26-mile climb to the finish! Swithchbacks! Massive crowds! It has been two years since the race rocked the Angeles National Forest and we are back again by popular demand. The fun will start in the City of Ontario setting the riders on a course that will lead the race north up the main artery and a climb will begin and the legs will start to burn. This will also be the site for the amateurs to test their mettle at the annual L\u2019Etape public ride which wil precede the professional race.<\/p>\n

Stage 6 \u2013 Big Bear Lake Individual Time Trial, May 19, 2017
\nThe riders will take out their revenge on this technical 15-mile course. While it is flat, the 6,800-foot elevation around Big Bear Lake will certainly sap the strength from many of the riders on this penultimate day.<\/p>\n

Stage 7 \u2013 Mountain High to Pasadena, May 20, 2017
\nThe Amgen Tour of California returns to the Mountain High ski resort for the start of the final stage. While this will be a fast and largely downhill run into Pasadena, the riders will have two significant climbs that will top out at over 7,900 feet. The crowds in Pasadena will be watching the top teams try to deliver their sprinter to the line to claim the finish.<\/p>\n
