Amgen ToC, Stage 4: Shedding a Few

With the peloton breathing down the necks of the five early escapees, it was Joonas Henttala (Novo Nordisk) who decided to use the final rise in the highway to shed his break away companions.  At first it was only Michael Hernandez (USA Cycling) who could go with the attack.  The two traded attacks as the pair of teammates Jonny Brown and Ian Garrison (Hagen Berman Axeon) bridged back up to them.  They had to be racing for the Most Courageous jersey, the peloton was far too close to hope to be able to take the stage.

Amgen ToC, Stage 4: Along the Coast

As per race tradition, today featured yet another break away, this one was not given the king of gap that happened yesterday.  Today's escapees where all contiental teams and included both the champion of Israel and the United States.  It is very unlikely the sprinters and their teams where going to let these guys, Joonas Henttala (Novo Nordisk), Michael Hernandez (USA Cycling), Roy Goldstein (Israel Cycling), along with the two Hagen Berman Axeon teammates, Jonny Brown and Ian Garrison, steal their chance at a stage victory.  It must have been a treat to ride along the Pacific Coast Highway with the dramatic rocky coast for scenery dispite the unrelenting head win for 130 miles.
