C’est l’Américain Taylor Phinney, 23 ans, du team BMC qui remporte au solitaire la 5ème étape du Tour de Californie. Au terme des 173,8km entre Pismo Beach et Santa Barbara, il devance en solitaire Peter Sagan qui règle le sprint du peloton.
Sous une chaleur étouffante, 6 hommes s’échappent dès le début de l’étape Michael Schär ( BMC Racing ) , Danny van Poppel ( Trek Factory Racing ) , Maarten Wynants ( Belkin ) , Isaac Bolivar ( UnitedHealthcare ) , Iker Camano ( NetApp – Endura ) et Serghei Ţvetcov ( Jelly Belly p / b Maxxis ) . Le peloton laisse filer mais dans la dernière partie et dans la seule grosse difficulté de l’étape il sont repris par le TGV des Cannondale. A 25 km du finish, le spécialiste du contre la montre Taylor Phinney décide de partir seul. En position de contre la monte, il ne sera jamais rejoint augmentant son avance au fur et à mesure des km. Au final il l’emporte avec 12 sec d’écart sur le peloton.
Pas de changement au général, Wiggins reste leader devant Rohan Dennis. Le jeune Picard Clément Chevrier est 23ème
