Facing a challenging climb up Mount Baldy, the two cyclists
separated themselves in the final stretch where Talansky moved
in front on the final left-hand corner to earn the win for his
Cannondale Drapac team.
Pole Majka, riding for Bora-Hansgrohe, will take a six-second
lead over Lotto NL-Jumbo's George Bennett into Friday’s 15-mile
individual time trial at Big Bear Lake.
Team Sky’s Ian Boswell, who finished the stage fourth, trails
Majka by 25 seconds while Talansky is fourth in the overall
standings, 44 seconds off the lead.
