Liquigas-Cannondale's amazing Peter Sagan won the Amgen Tour of California's final stage in front of a huge crowd in downtown Los Angeles, making it five of eight stages to cap off an incredible week of racing.

Liquigas-Cannondale's Peter Sagan became the winningest rider in the Amgen Tour of California's brief history by winning the fourth stage into Clovis on Wednesday. The young Slovak has won four stages in a row and seven in his career, besting Levi Leipheimer previous record and showing no signs of slowing down.

Peter Sagan again showed off his range of talent by winning the drag race into Livermore at the end of the Amgen Tour of California's stage three. By besting some of the hottest pure sprinters in the world, Sagan once again proved that he has a chance to win at almost any type of race.

Liquigas-Cannondale's Peter Sagan made it two for two in the Amgen Tour of California by winning stage two in Santa Cruz.

Liquigas-Cannondale's Peter Sagan scored big in the first stage of the Amgen Tour of California in Santa Rosa. The young superstar chased back after a late flat tire with just ten km to go only to be presented with another challenge with three km left, when teammate Ted King was struck by a swerving rider and taken down. Sagan, who was on King's wheel, narrowly missed the crash and found Daniel Oss to drive him to the front. At 250m to go, Sagan started his massive sprint and took the victory, his fourth of the year and fourth in the Tour of California.

With a final strong and decisive move with 800 meters to go, Moreno Moser took the win at the Rund um den Finanzplatz Eschborn-Frankfurt, a 200 kilometer race in the German city. The Liquigas-Cannondale neopro attacked from a breakaway group including teammate Dominik Nerz (second-place), Martin and Firsanov, which broke away with 15 kilometers to go.

Peter Sagan knew that the Amstel Gold Race course suited him, and knew that he couldn't waste his good form from the cobbled classics. Evidence of this was shown on the Cauberg, the last côte of the Amstel Gold Race: with one burst, Sagan was launched towards the finish but with just meters to the line, Gasparotto and Venendert came around him. Sagan crossed third and took his place on the podium.

Today was a victorious day for Liquigas-Cannondale in Belgium. Peter Sagan secured another win (his third this season, and number 23 since turning pro) in the first stage of the Three Days of De Panne (201 km from Middelkerke to Oudenaarde) by beating former Liquigas teammate Jacopo Guarnieri, and current teammate Fabio Sabatini over the line in a photo finish. This is the team’s fourteenth win of 2012.

The promising ride by Peter Sagan in Harelbeke was confirmed at Gent-Wevelgem. In the sprint finish that decided the 2012 edition, only Tom Boonen was able to best the young Slovak champion of Liquigas-Cannondale. Matti Breschel finished third. 

Vincenzo Nibali is the winner of the 2012 Tirreno-Adriatico. Thanks to a huge ride in the final time trial in San Benedetto del Tronto, the Sicilian made up the six second gap to overnight leader Chris Horner and the single second to ex-teammate Roman Kreuziger, the rival he most feared. At the finish, Nibali crossed the line in ninth place overall, twenty seconds faster than the American and twenty seven faster than the Czech.
