The 2013 Amgen Tour of California will return to the original time trial course we used in 2006, with a wicked stinger at the end! This 20-mile course will feature a climb, soon after the riders push off the starting ramp. As the racers navigate around beautiful lakes and golf courses, they will begin to prepare for the most difficult finish that any Amgen Tour of California time trial course has offered. As the riders make their final right hand turn on the route, they will come face-to-face with the climb up Metcalf Rd. to the finish. This is a 3km climb that will see the riders gain nearly 1,000’ in elevation. This climb will feature several pitches over a 10% grade.

Tejay heads into the stage with a good advantage over the rest of the GC contenders. Barring a disaster he should be able to preserve (or add to) his lead. Mick Rogers looks to have the best chance of beating him, but would has to overcome 42 seconds to do that. His form has looked better then earlier this year, but not sure it's good enough to beat Tejay.
Guys that can TT in the race include: Zabriskie, Tejay, Rogers, C. Meyer, Chavanel, Grabsch, Pinotti, Zirbel, Westra.

My bet, Zabriskie takes the stage, Tejay adds to his GC lead.

Bit hard for Zabriskie to take the stage when he was nowhere on the climb earlier in the week. Top5 will probably be Van Garderen/Mancebo/Rogers/Meyer/Craddock. Even the first section has a couple of annoying hills so someone like Deignan who was decent on the rolling course in Gila could go well here too.

Deignan said he has been working quite a bit on his TT position this year. I think he will do reasonably well here as well where he won't lose huge chunks to Van Garderen. Nevertheless, pity about yesterday's stage though. That's costed him any little chance he had of overall and why TJVG will probably have the win very much in his grasp barring a disaster on Diablo. The overall could lack a bit of suspense here. Let's hope Rogers can turn in a good performance.

Looking forward to it.

So far it has been a tremendous race. Really good!

Tbh I find the lack of GC competition a tad boring. Only Rogers and TJ with a real shot, and TJ just seem that much stronger atm. The sidewind stage we had last night was good though.

In 2006 the time trial was identical with this year's one minus the final climb.

Winning time this year will be around 47 minutes i guess.

I'm not a particular fan of TVG but he's turned in some very solid results since last year's TOC where he was rather disappointing on Baldy. He can climb, he can TT, he might have a GT trophy in his future...

Can this ITT be compared with the one in Tour Med at the beginning of the season? Tour Med was shorter (24.5 km) but it also had a climb at the end IINM.

Tour Med ITT was very exposed and very windy, and obviously in February. Not sure I'd use it as much of a comparison to be honest,

I also expect Rogers to take a bit of time from TJVG, not enough to overhaul him now, but maybe on Diablo.

Meyer could move up to 3rd :)
Looking forward to see Haga too.

Rogers' form is better than it's been all year, but he's not back to his best. His time trialing has been especially awful, so I don't think he'll be anywhere close to Van Garderen.

GC-wise this race was over after the Palm Springs stage.
