Alaphilippe finiszował samotnie na szczycie Mt. Baldy, gdzie usytuowana była meta królewskiego etapu 10. Tour of California. Kolarz Etixx-Quick Step zaatakował na 4 kilometry przed metą i na mecie zameldował się z przewagą 23 sekund nad dwójką kolarzy Team Sky – Sergio Henao i Ianem Boswellem. Dotychczasowy lider wyścigu, Peter Sagan (Tinkoff-Saxo), do samego końca walczył o zminimalizowanie strat i na metę przyjechał ze stratą 47 sekund do zwycięzcy, jednak zabrakło mu 2 sekund, by obronić prowadzenie w wyścigu.
Przed ostatnim etapem Alaphilippe wyprzedza Sagana o 2 sekundy, ale Słowak na płaskim etapie dla sprinterów będzie miał dwie szanse, by stratę odrobić. Pierwsza to lotny finisz na półmetku etapu, druga to sprinterski pojedynek na mecie, na których Sagan w tym roku trzykrotnie był drugi i raz wygrał.
Trzecie miejsce w klasyfikacji generalnej zajmuje Henao, który ma 33 sekundy starty do Alaphilippa i już nikłe szanse na poprawienie swojej lokaty.
