SANTA ROSA, California — Tejay van Garderen captured the eighth Tour of California cycling race Sunday, sealing his first career stage-race triumph in the final stage. Slovakia's Peter Sagan won the eighth and final stage, which took the riders out of San Francisco via the iconic Golden Gate Bridge to a finish in Santa Rosa. Van Garderen won the title in a total time of 29 hours and 43 minutes. Australia's Michael Rogers was second overall, 1:47 back, with Colombia's Janier Acevedo third. BMC rider Van Garderen, a 24-year-old American, continued a superb start to the year that has seen him finish fourth in the Paris-Nice and second at the Tour de San Luis. — AP
