Amgen Tour races from Newhall to Mountain High

Colombian Esteban Chaves conquered the mountains and the 100 degree temperatures to win stage 6 of the Amgen Tour of California as Sir Bradley Wiggins retained his overall race lead.

The 99.4 mile leg began in Newhall before turning north toward Palmdale, and  finished at the Mountain High ski resort.

Tomorrow the race begins in Santa Clarita for a second straight day and ends in Pasadena.

Temperatures which have hit 100 or higher the past three days are forecast to cool to 86 degrees on Saturday.
