Race to Be King: Santa Cruz Style

The Amgen Tour of California made its way from San Francisco to Santa Cruz Tuesday. Here, a pack of five riders has a two minute lead on the peloton as they approach the third "King of the Mountain" checkpoint. The first rider to reach the checkpoint earns points towards the overall "King of the Mountains" title.
