Stage 5 of The Tour of California

Stage 5 of the Amgen Tour of California really shook things up.  Peter Sagan fell back in the standings and lost the yellow jersey as expected, but others didn't rise as expected.  David Zabriskie, the time trail champion, showed his form and won the stage and took over the leader's jersey, but Chris Horner and Levi Leipheimer didn't perform as expected.  Leipheimer showed that his injury was holding him back and he is now 1:44 back of the leader.  Horner didn't perform well for whatever reason and is even further back at 2:50 behind the top spot.  However, one of the favorites in the event performed well and is now in second place. Tejay Van Garderen is now in position for the win as Zabriskie is not known as a climber with back to back climbing stages coming up.  It looks like Horner and Leipheimer's chances to win are gone, but you might see a break away from Horner in the coming days to try and recover from his less than spectacular time trail.
