This undulating stage will take in over 2000m of elevation and could see the opportunity for a breakaway to steal the show over what will be a class field of sprinters, including Mark Cavendish, Marcel Kittel and Peter Sagan.

Dan was joined (for some of the route at least) by his former teammate Dave Zabriskie. They tackled the infamous Balcom Canyon Road, which features grades of up to 20%.

The race finishes near Six Flags Magic Mountain - they'll pass by the theme park on the way to a rollercoaster ride of a finish in Santa Clarita.
