Rafal Majka (Bora-Hansgrohe) wins stage two atop san jose, California.

Rafal Majka (Bora-Hansgrohe) wins stage two from four man breakaway group atop San Jose, Amgen Tour of California.

 The Bora-Hansgrohe rider narrowly beat LottoNL-Jumbo's George Bennett at the line, with Ian Boswell (Team Sky) claiming third ahead of Lachlan Morton (Dimension Data).






 Skujins crashes out of Tour of California as Bennett spurred the decisive move out of the peloton on the Mt. Hamilton climb, pulling Majka, Boswell and Morton along to link up with Cannondale-Drapac's Toms Skujins, UnitedHealthcare's Daniel Jaramillo and Dimension Data's Scott Thwaites, the last survivors of the early break. Jaramillo and Thwaites were dropped before long, but Skujins stayed in contention with the others until taking a nasty fall on the steep descent that followed the Quimby Road climb. He ultimately abandoned the race. Majka now leads the Tour of California with a two-second advantage over Bennett, while Boswell sits in third, 14 seconds down.
