In its thirteenth, and arguably hardest edition, the 2019 Tour of California, was conquered by Slovenian climber Tadej Pogačar of UAE, ahead of Neo pro Sergio Higuita, in his first race with US Based EF Education First, and Flanders Runner Up Danish Kasper Asgreen of Deceuninck–Quick-Step. The race was won on the Queen Stage to Mt Baldy, where the diminutive climbers dropped the field in a slo-mo battle up the steep climbs.

Dutch Superstar Anna Van Der Breggen took the win on the first stage and the overall, matching the pace of team-mate and overall runner up Katie Hall on the stage to Mt Baldy. South African Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio came third after a strong performance.

Matt and Danny discuss their week and get started talking about diet, protein, and easy healthy.

Finally, with another Slovenian Primož Roglič in a commanding lead in the GC competition, things are starting to look pretty certain. The sprinting competition is wide open with wins by Ackermann, Gaviria, Demare, and Ewan. Only Elia Viviani, the Italian champion, is lacking a win. He has one more chance in tomorrow's sprint stage.
