"The girls were perfect. There was some chaos on the side, but we just stuck to the plan, and we executed perfectly, and I couldn't have pulled it off without them," said Rivera.
With the final day of racing on tap in downtown Sacramento tomorrow, UnitedHealthcare Pro Cycling's Katie Hall retains the overall race lead with one second separating her from Boels-Dolmans' 2016 Olympic road race gold medalist Anna van der Breggen (NED). van der Breggen’s teammate and last year's race champion Megan Guarnier heads into tomorrow in third place overall, 29 seconds off the lead.

Hall, who likely locked up the Queen of the Mountain category win today, says of her one-second lead: "Better than no seconds!... It really is an honor to be wearing the yellow [Amgen Race Leader] jersey for the women in my home state." Of her team's chances tomorrow: "We do love the stage – we've been here a couple of times. We're excited to fight tomorrow."
24-year old Cuban cyclist Arlenis Sierra (Astana Women's Team) took over the Visit California Sprint Jersey as well as the TAG Heuer Best Young Rider Jersey with her second-place finish today. Wiggle High5 Pro Cycling's sprinter Giorgia Bronzini (ITA) rounded out the podium in third place for the stage.
Earlier in the day, a breakaway including Mexican champion Ingrid Drexel (Team TIBCO - Silicon Valley Bank), Rally Cycling's Erica Allar and Hagens Berman | Supermint's Scotti Lechuga brought their lead over the peloton to one minute.
Visit Dallas DNA Pro Cycling's Mandy Heintz rode aggressively throughout the day, including a stint in a solo breakaway after an attack with 13 miles (21 km) to go that she nurtured to a 35-second lead. Her ride earned her the Most Courageous Rider Jersey.
Top Canadian on the stage was Kirsti Lay (Rally Cycling) in 8th at the same time as the winner. Lex Albrecht (Team Tibco - Silicon Valley Bank) remains the top Canadian in the GC in 14th at 2:03 back.
