The 2013 Amgen Tour of California was the eighth running of the Tour of California cycling stage race. It was held from May 12–19, and was rated as a 2.HC event on the UCI America Tour. It began in Escondido and finished in Santa Rosa.[1]
It was won by the American Tejay van Garderen[2] (BMC Racing Team), the first success in the general classification of a stage race in the career of the then 24-year-old rider.[3] The sprints jersey was handed to Slovak Peter Sagan (Cannondale), who won it for the fourth time in four consecutive presences at the Tour.[4] Carter Jones (Bissell) prevailed in the mountains classification thanks to his participation in numerous breakaways,[5] and Lawson Craddock of Bontrager Cycling Team earned the youth classification jersey at 21 years of age.[6]
