Mark Cavendish fait à nouveau parler de lui...mais en bien. Après son geste déplacé et son exclusion du Tour de Romandie, le Britannique revient en force en décrochant la première étape de la course la plus importante des États-Unis (Nevada City-Sacramento, 167 km). C'est sa troisième victoire cette saison. L'Argentin Juan Jose Haedo (Team Saxo Bank) termine à la 2ème place, le Norvégien Alexander Kristoff (BMC Racing Team), bien connu en Bretagne pour avoir terminé l'an passé à la 5ème place du Tour de Bretagne (2ème à Saint-Cast le Guildo et Ploeren), complétant le podium.
