El estadounidense Taylor Phinney (BMC Racing Team) se impuso este jueves en la quinta etapa del Tour de California que transcurrió entre Pismo Beach y Santa Bárbara sobre 174 kilómetros. Bradley Wiggins (Sky) mantiene el sueter amarillo a falta de la definitiva jornada del viernes con final en Mountain High, mientras que el antioqueño Janier Acevedo (Garmina-Sharp) se mantuvo como el mejor de colombiano en la décima casilla a 2:34 del británico.

La jornada tuvo protagonismo de los escarabajos primero con Isaac Bolívar (United Helathcare) integrando una fuga de seis corredores que anuló el Cannondale poco antes del ascenso a San Marco Pass, a 26 de meta. La escalada le dio alas a Daniel Jaramillo (Jamis) que lo intentó en solitario pero el fuerte ritmo de los verdes de Sagan que buscaban eliminar a Cavendish echó a tierra su intento.

El Cannondale consiguió su objetivo y eliminó al misil de Mann pero no contó con que Phiney los sorprendiera en la bajada y mucho menos que lo volvieran a ver en la meta en Santa Barbara en una espectacular acción del pedalista norteamericano.  

La general se decidirá este viernes con la disputa de la etapa reina con final en Mountain High, escenario donde Janier Acevedo obtuvo el año pasado una brillante victoria que le aseguró un lugar en el podio. Los 18 kilómetros de ascensión al 5 % con un último kilómetro al 8 % deberán tener protagonismo del lote de escarabajos que hace presencia en la ronda californiana.
