King edges Huffman to win Stage 2 at Tour of California (The Associated Press)
Ben King climbed to the top step of the podium at the Tour of California on Monday, four months after a broken fibula from a training crash kept him from being able to climb anywhere. King out-sprinted Evan Huffman to win Stage 2 and assumed the overall lead from Peter Sagan after a lumpy 92-mile ride from Pasadena. King, a former U.S. road race champion, became the first American stage winner at California since Taylor Phinney two years ago in Santa Barbara.
