C’est le Canadien William Routley du team Kelly Benefit qui remporte la 4ème étape du Tour de Californie. Au terme des 168,9 km entre Monterey et Cambria, il devance au sprint à 5 l’Américain Gregory Daniel et le Belge kevin De Masmaeker.
Tous faisait partie d’une échappée matinal de 6 coureurs avec Routley , Daniel , De Masmaeker , Chris Jones ( UnitedHealthcare ) , Jonny Clarke ( UnitedHealthcare ) et Matt Cooke ( Jamis – Hagens Berman ) . Le peloton a réagit trop tardivement sur cette échappée et n’a pu les rejoindre. Au final, Routley remporte le sprint de groupe.
Mais surtout, alors qu’il est porteur du maillot de la montage, il prend le maillot du classement par point qui appartenait à Mark Cavendish.
Bradley Wiggins conserve la tête du classement général. Le jeune Français , le Picard Clément Chevrier, 21 ans, réalise un très bon tour et se classe 25 ème au général à 7 min de Wiggins.
