Stage 3 - February 21: Stockton to San José, 152.2km

After a neutral start with parade laps through Stockton's revitalized downtown area, the peloton will head west through California's farm lands. Then after passing through Tracy, the riders will encounter a climb new to this year's race, Patterson Pass. The route will pass through the city of Livermore and connect to the familiar roads of the last year's Stage 2 route on Calaveras Road. This long, constant grade leads to the most difficult climb of the race, the Category One Sierra Road climb in San Jose. After completing this KOM (King of the Mountain) competition, the peloton will finish the 94.6-mile course in front of San Jose City Hall.
