2013 Tour of California, Stages, Stage 6
Meanwhile, former leader Janier Acevedo suffered a mechanical which forced him to change machines, he would ultimately finish 18th, 2:41 behind the winner. First stage winner Lieuwe Westra (Vacansoleil–DCM) then bested Dennis' time by 5 seconds, establishing a new mark. Philip Deignan (UnitedHealthcare) rode his way to 24th, a time that would make him lose 3 spots, from fifth to eighth. Cameron Meyer (Orica–GreenEDGE) put in a good performance with a time of 50' 20", which translated in a jump from sixth place to third.


2013 Tour of California, Stages, Stage 6
Michael Rogers (Saxo–Tinkoff) then signed what would become the fourth fastest time of the day, saying afterward that the wind played a big role. Being the overall classification leader, Van Garderen rolled off the ramp last, and confirmed his overall ambitions by crushing the stage, registering the only time below 49 minutes (48' 52", 22 seconds faster than Westra).


2013 Tour of California, Stages, Stage 6
It was Van Garderen's first victory of the year despite some notable results earlier in the season and he declared after the event: "I don't want to count my chickens before they hatch, but I'm ready to win, and I think it's about time. I think now I’m finally mature enough to pull through to the end. I think I’m ready to do it."


2013 Tour of California, Stages, Stage 7
Dubbed as the queen stage of the Tour, this stage featured three categorized affairs. After 10 mi (16 km) of racing, the riders  tackled with the first climb of the day, then it was mostly downhill or flat until they got to the Patterson Pass about halfway through the course. The only intermediate sprint was situated at the bottom of the descent while the riders crossed Livermore, after which they climbed the "Hors Catégorie" Mount Diablo to its very top (18.3 km (11.4 mi) at an average 5.8%, the last 150 m (490 ft) kicking up at a steep 16%).


2013 Tour of California, Stages, Stage 7
After 7 riders attempted to break free and failed, a successful move was initiated by Juan Antonio Flecha and his teammate Lieuwe Westra. Flecha was ultimately dropped, but ten riders remained in the fold: Westra, Carter Jones (Bissell), Andy Schleck and his teammate Laurent Didier (RadioShack–Leopard), David De la Cruz (NetApp–Endura), Carlos Verona (Omega Pharma–Quick-Step), Kristijan Koren (Cannondale), Chris Butler (Champion System), Nathan Brown (Bontrager Cycling Team) and Nate English (5-hour Energy).


2013 Tour of California, Stages, Stage 7
Jones crested the first two difficulties of the day in the lead, insuring that he will be crowned the "Best climber" of the Tour, unless he would happen to be unable to complete stage 8. The breakaway had a maximum advantage of 4 minutes with 44 km (27 mi) to cover, and the best placed rider within the lead group was English at 6' 57".


2013 Tour of California, Stages, Stage 7
BMC Racing Team and Jamis–Hagens Berman started working in unison at the sharp end of the bunch, and the leading men started climbing Mount Diablo with an advantage that had been reduced to a little more than a minute. The break splintered, leaving only Westra and De la Cruz in front in a bid for a stage win.


2013 Tour of California, Stages, Stage 7
The peloton hit the climb with a strong BMC Racing Team presence at the front, sheltering race leader Tejay van Garderen. The riders from the early break were reeled in progressively, and Gavin Mannion (Bontrager Cycling Team) took a plunge in a grassy roadside ditch, with no apparent damage. Jens Voigt (RadioShack–Leopard) placed a strong acceleration with 6 km (3.7 mi) to race, and was soon joined and dropped by Francisco Mancebo (5-hour Energy). The Spaniard continued onward and cruised past the Westra-De la Cruz duo.


2013 Tour of California, Stages, Stage 7
With 3 km (1.9 mi) to go and an ever-thinning field, Janier Acevedo jumped out and caught Mancebo, who was unable to follow. Back in the yellow jersey group, third-placed Cameron Meyer (Orica–GreenEDGE) was beginning to suffer and was dropped. It was then Leopold König's turn to attack, joining Acevedo. The pair went together under the flamme rouge as the crowd cheered them on. NetApp–Endura's König placed an ultimate dig 300 m (980 ft) from the line, and Acevedo could not answer. The latter finished 7 seconds in arrears of König, ravishing the third overall spot from Meyer, and Van Garderen came in 5 seconds later, cementing his lead in the overall classification.


2013 Tour of California, Stages, Stage 8
The final stage of the Tour featured no categorized climbs, although there were a few lumps in the way, the most notable of which having a modest altitude gain of 150 m (490 ft). An intermediate sprint was disputed after 33 mi (53 km) of racing. The final 15 mi (24 km) of the course going into Santa Rosa were basically pan flat. The final kilometers of the whole race were two small loops of 4 km (2.5 mi) in the aforementioned city.


2013 Tour of California, Stages, Stage 8
Considering the flat terrain and the time gaps, three of the Overall jerseys (General, Mountains and Youth classifications) were likely to remain on their respective wearers, provided no accidents or large breakaway occurred. It was not the case for the Points classification though, as Peter Sagan only had a single point of an advantage over Tyler Farrar (38 vs. 37) The start signal was given after riders had crossed the Golden Gate Bridge, and eternal breakaway participant Thomas De Gendt immediately took large, accompanied by Bissell's Jason McCartney and Bontrager Cycling Team's Antoine Duchesne.


2013 Tour of California, Stages, Stage 8
The points on offer at the intermediate sprint in Point Reyes Station were swept up by the trio, as only the three first riders were awarded points, leaving the suspense for the Green Jersey for the finish line. The gap ballooned to a maximum of 4:30 with about 70 km (43 mi) to cover, and then started to shrink.


2013 Tour of California, Stages, Stage 8
De Gendt suffered a mechanical where he had to change his machine, and Duchesne commented about the difference that bike change made after the stage: "He was really pulling hard in the beginning and doing the most of the work, but after his mechanical – that wasn't his bike and he said that he felt terrible; the seat was too high and stuff like that – so it kind of slowed us down a little."


2013 Tour of California, Stages, Stage 8
Duchesne accelerated to get away from the group as they were entering Santa Rosa, but McCartney closed the gap as De Gendt fold back. The pair was soon reeled in however, and the lead-out trains of Garmin–Sharp and Cannondale went to work at the front of the peloton. Sagan was led off very well by his team according to his own words, started the sprint first with 200 m (660 ft) to go and won the race by more than a bike length over Daniel Schorn (NetApp–Endura) and his Points classification opponent Tyler Farrar.


2013 Tour of California, Stages, Stage 8
As he crossed the line, he made a victory salute, one arm in the air, the other arm making the gesture reminiscent  of a person trying to start a lawn mower. With that win, Sagan secured the Points classification jersey, as there were no other changes in the classifications. Sagan dedicated his victory to 11-year-old Alex Shepherd, cancer sufferer and cycling enthusiast. Tejay van Garderen won the first stage race in his career, and declared after the feat, "I've known for years that I'm capable of a ride like that," he said. "Finally for it all to fall in place, it's really special."


2013 Tour of California, Classification leadership
In the 2013 Tour of California, 5 jerseys are awarded. For the general classification, calculated by adding the finishing times of the stages per cyclist, the leader receives a yellow jersey (Amgen Race Leader Jersey).

The last jersey is awarded to the most combative rider of a stage for him to wear on the next stage. It is generally awarded to a rider who attacks constantly or spends a lot of time in the breakaways. This jersey is blue, white and yellow (Amgen Breakaway from Cancer© Most Courageous Rider Jersey).


2013 Tour of California, Classification leadership
There is also a classification for teams. In this classification, the times of the best three cyclists per stage are added, and the team with the lowest time is the leader.

2013 Tour of Flanders, Teams
As the Tour of Flanders was a UCI World Tour event, all UCI ProTeams were invited automatically and obligated to send a squad. Originally, race organisers had been planning to have the eighteen ProTeams invited to the race, with seven other squads given wildcard places, and as such, would have formed the event's 25-team peloton. Team Katusha subsequently regained their ProTour status after an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Rather than removing one team from the race to accommodate Team Katusha, race organisers sought approval from the Union Cycliste Internationale to invite 26 teams of 8 riders, and a maximum peloton of 208 riders; this proposal was granted prior to the race.

Edvald Boasson Hagen was considered to have a home advantage since he was raised in Rudsbygd near Lillehammer and had done the climbs there many times.

Team Katusha subsequently regained their ProTour status after an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. With Team Katusha not originally invited to the race, race organisers announced their inclusion to the race, bringing the total number of teams competing to twenty-one.


2013 Tour of the Basque Country, Teams
Among the 164-rider start list – each team entered eight riders with the exception of Argos–Shimano and Blanco Pro Cycling, who entered seven, and Team Sky, who entered six – were four previous winners of the race. 2000 and 2011 winner Andreas Klöden was part of the RadioShack–Leopard squad, and 2007 victor Juan José Cobo was part of the Movistar Team for the race. Another double winner from previous years, Alberto Contador – who won in 2008 and 2009 – was the team leader for Saxo–Tinkoff, while Samuel Sánchez looked to defend his title at the race with Euskaltel–Euskadi, having won the race in the final time trial in 2012.


2013 Tour of the Basque Country, Stages, Stage 1
The opening stage of the 2013 Tour of the Basque Country was expected to be one of two chances for sprinters to be prevail over the course of the race as the stage itself was lumpy on a circuit in and around Elgoibar. During the 156.5 km (97.2 mi) parcours, there were a total of six categorised climbs, including the first-category Alto de Azurki at an average gradient of 7.8%, although the steepest of the six climbs preceded the Alto de Azurki, as the Alto de Endoia averaged 9.6% over its duration. The final climb of the Alto de San Miguel summited out with 7.5 km (4.7 mi) remaining before the finish in Elgoibar. There were also three intermediate sprint points in the second half of the stage in Elgoibar itself, Berriatua and in Markina.


2013 Tour of the Basque Country, Stages, Stage 1
After an initial seven-rider move got away early in the stage, the day's primary breakaway was a pair of riders, with Basque rider Amets Txurruka of the Caja Rural–Seguros RGA team being joined by RadioShack–Leopard's Laurent Didier on the day's first categorised climb, the second-category Alto de Asensio. The duo went across the summit with an advantage of around two-and-a-half minutes, before reaching a maximum of around 5' 15" at one point during the stage.


2013 Tour of the Basque Country, Stages, Stage 1
Thereafter, it was left to Saxo–Tinkoff to initiate the chase, doing the majority of the pacing before Blanco Pro Cycling, Astana and Euskaltel–Euskadi took over as the stage neared its conclusion. Txurruka left Didier behind on the penultimate climb, the Alto de Kalbario, pulling over a minute clear as the peloton bore down and ultimately caught Didier.


2013 Tour of the Basque Country, Stages, Stage 1
Saxo–Tinkoff had picked up the front of the peloton once again, as they continued to reduce the advantage that Txurruka held, and was caught with around 18 km (11.2 mi) remaining, prior to the day's final climb. The Movistar Team took up the pace on the climb itself, looking to protect their leader Nairo Quintana, attempting to shell riders out of the back of the peloton.


2013 Tour of the Basque Country, Stages, Stage 1
Towards the summit of the climb, several riders crashed – including Lotto–Belisol's Jurgen Van den Broeck, and Omega Pharma–Quick-Step duo Tony Martin and Dries Devenyns; the latter abandoned with a fractured radial bone in his left arm – and as a result, the peloton split into several groups. At the front was a group of seventeen riders including favourites Alberto Contador of Saxo–Tinkoff, Quintana, Team Sky's Richie Porte and Tejay van Garderen of the BMC Racing Team. After a lead-out from teammate Pieter Weening, Simon Gerrans sprinted to his third stage victory of the year ahead of a fast-finishing Peter Velits of Omega Pharma–Quick-Step.


2013 Tour of the Basque Country, Stages, Stage 2
The second stage of the race was seen as the most likely to end in a sprint finish out of the five mass-start stages in the 2013 edition. Although there were five categorised climbs during its 170.2 km (105.8 mi) itinerary, including two second-category climbs inside the opening 50 km (31.1 mi) of the stage – the second of these, the Alto de Gatzaga, averaging a gradient of 10.8% – the gradients of the three third-category climbs late in the stage were not expected to cause major damage in the peloton.


2013 Tour of the Basque Country, Stages, Stage 2
Vitoria-Gasteiz was hosting a stage finish of the Tour of the Basque Country for the second year in succession; in 2012, Daryl Impey won the second stage after attacking inside the final kilometre for the GreenEDGE team, and managed to hold off a fast-finishing main field, led home by teammate Allan Davis.


2013 Tour of the Basque Country, Stages, Stage 2
Caja Rural–Seguros RGA's home rider Amets Txurruka played a part in the breakaway for the second day in a row, although on this occasion, he had no other riders to collaborate with the pacing off the front. Txurruka, in the red and white polka-dot jersey as mountains classification leader, attacked prior to the day's first categorised climb, the Alto de Elgeta, commencing over 130 km (80.8 mi) at the front of the race, solo. Txurruka's maximum lead over the rest of the field came on the descent from the Alto de Gatzaga, reaching around five-and-a-half minutes.


2013 Tour of the Basque Country, Stages, Stage 2
Txurruka extended his lead in both the mountains and sprints classifications as Orica–GreenEDGE moved to the front of the peloton, and started the chase of Txurruka in earnest. On the Alto de San Martin, Jens Voigt (RadioShack–Leopard) and Lampre–Merida's Adriano Malori attacked from the peloton, and after around 5 km (3.1 mi) of chasing, caught up to Txurruka.


2013 Tour of the Basque Country, Stages, Stage 2
The three riders were eventually caught one-by-one on the run-in to Vitoria-Gasteiz, setting up the final sprint, and with a lead-out from race leader Simon Gerrans and teammate Michael Matthews, Impey repeated his 2012 victory ahead of Astana's Francesco Gavazzi; Gavazzi's second top-four finish allowed him to take the race lead from Gerrans.


2013 Tour of the Basque Country, Stages, Stage 3
Moving away from the sprinter-friendly finishes of the opening two days, the third stage again included five categorised climbs over the 164.7 km (102.3 mi) parcours, with two second-category climbs – the Alto de la Reineta and the finishing climb of La Lejana – being the most testing of the day's race. La Lejana also incorporated a steep kick to the finish line in Trapagaran; the final 475 metres (1,558 ft) of the stage was to be completed on roads averaging a gradient of around 21%, although the climb as a whole, averaged only 5.7%.


2013 Tour of the Basque Country, Stages, Stage 3
As a result of this, it was expected that the first major time gaps would come into play for the remainder of the race, and that the overall race contenders would be looking to gain some time ahead the following two mountain stages, and the final day time trial. The race remained together for most of the opening hour, with several moves being shut down before the riders could establish any legitimate gap from the main field.


2013 Tour of the Basque Country, Stages, Stage 3
Continuing his perfect record of being in the stage breakaway every day, Amets Txurruka (Caja Rural–Seguros RGA) had company out front – unlike his second stage solo attack – as he was joined by teammate Omar Fraile, Daniel Navarro of Cofidis, Euskaltel–Euskadi's Mikel Landa and Romain Bardet of the Ag2r–La Mondiale team. The quintet's lead reached a maximum of around five-and-a-half minutes during the stage, before the advantage was steadily reduced after that point.


2013 Tour of the Basque Country, Stages, Stage 3
Txurruka continued to extend his advantages in both the sprints and mountains classifications; he led across all three intermediate sprint points – in Amurrio, Trapagaran itself, and Muskiz – and four of the five categorised climbs. The leaders were eventually brought back to the peloton with around 10 km (6.2 mi) remaining.


2013 Tour of the Basque Country, Stages, Stage 3
At the foot of the climb, Saxo–Tinkoff made their way to the front of the peloton with Nicolas Roche and Chris Anker Sørensen leading their train, protecting their leader Alberto Contador. After Vacansoleil–DCM's Wout Poels had an attack quickly negated by the Movistar Team, José Herrada picked up the lead of the group and set about shelling riders from the back of the group due to exhaustion.


2013 Tour of the Basque Country, Stages, Stage 3
Colombian riders were prominent in the group; after Sergio Henao (Team Sky) had attacked, been joined by Herrada's teammate Nairo Quintana and had been brought back, Ag2r–La Mondiale's Carlos Betancur went on the attack with 3 km (1.9 mi) remaining and was joined by Team Katusha rider Giampaolo Caruso. Betancur and Caruso remained clear into the closing stages when they were joined by Henao, who had attacked from a thirty-rider group.


2013 Tour of the Basque Country, Stages, Stage 3
Caruso faded on the closing straight as Henao and Betancur went shoulder-to-shoulder in the closing sprint; Henao crossed the line first for his second win of the season, ahead of Betancur, who had raised his arm in protest at the finish, feeling that Henao had pushed him against the barrier. Henao's victory also allowed him to take the lead of both the points classification, and more importantly, the race lead overall.


2013 Tour of the Basque Country, Stages, Stage 4
For the fifth successive year, the Tour of the Basque Country included a stage finish in Eibar-Arrate, including the punchy climb of the first-category Alto de Usartza, an ascent with an average gradient of 6.7%, but with gradient in places at over 11%. The climb itself levelled out with 1.4 km (0.9 mi) remaining of the stage, before a slight downhill run to the finish.


2013 Tour of the Basque Country, Stages, Stage 4
The Alto de Usartza was the fifth and final climb of the day's 151.6 km (94.2 mi) itinerary, starting in the previous day's finishing town of Trapagaran; the only other climb that was not rated as second-category, was the first-category Alto de Ixua, which was the day's steepest climb, averaging over 10%, and summiting with around 35 km (21.7 mi) remaining. Although not in top form, Euskaltel–Euskadi's Samuel Sánchez was seen as the stage favourite, having won the previous three finishes at Eibar-Arrate in the Tour of the Basque Country. It was also seen as the queen stage of the race.


2013 Tour of the Basque Country, Stages, Stage 4
Much like the previous day, the race remained together for most of the opening hour, after several mini-breaks were negated before they could establish a reputable gap over the main field. The breakaway was formed after around 45 km (28.0 mi), with five riders making headway; the highest-placed of the riders was Peter Velits of Omega Pharma–Quick-Step – who had finished second to Orica–GreenEDGE's Simon Gerrans on the opening stage of the race – as he trailed the overnight leader Sergio Henao (Team Sky) by less than two minutes.


2013 Tour of the Basque Country, Stages, Stage 4
Despite this, the lead quintet's maximum advantage reached over five minutes before it was steadily dwindled after that. With Team Sky on the front of the peloton, the lead group of three – after Team Katusha's Eduard Vorganov and Rein Taaramäe of Cofidis had been dropped – reached the final climb with a lead of around two minutes.


2013 Tour of the Basque Country, Stages, Stage 4
As the leaders made their way up the climb, Cannondale's Daniele Ratto fell into difficulty remaining with Velits and the other member of the breakaway, Ag2r–La Mondiale's Matteo Montaguti. The Movistar Team's José Herrada was first to move from the peloton, with Pieter Weening (Orica–GreenEDGE) and Vorganov's teammate Simon Špilak joining him, and the trio caught the two leaders with around 4 km (2.5 mi) remaining. Špilak soon left them behind and gained a small gap over the rest, before they closed him down towards the top of the climb.


2013 Tour of the Basque Country, Stages, Stage 4
This group remained together into the final kilometre as a chase group, led by Sánchez, was failing to make contact. Nairo Quintana (Movistar Team) attacked in the closing stages, and held on to win by two seconds from Henao and Saxo–Tinkoff's Alberto Contador; Quintana reduced Henao's overall lead to six seconds, with three riders four seconds further back.


2013 Tour of the Basque Country, Stages, Stage 5
The penultimate stage was seen as the race's most difficult day of climbing, although was not considered as prestigious as the previous day's queen stage to Eibar–Arrate. Over the course of the 166.1 km (103.2 mi) parcours, there were a total of ten categorised climbs, the last of which – the second-category Alto de Olaberria, a steep climb with an average gradient of 12.3%, with a gradient in places reaching 16% – came just 5.8 km (3.6 mi) away from the finish of the stage in Beasain. The Alto de Olaberria was climbed three times in total during the stage, while another climb – the third-category Alto de Gabiria – was summited on two occasions. Weather conditions also made riding for the peloton more difficult, with rain and sleet falling throughout.


2013 Tour of the Basque Country, Stages, Stage 5
A three-rider move got away in the early stages, consisting of Blanco Pro Cycling's Lars Petter Nordhaug, Jérôme Pineau of Omega Pharma–Quick-Step and Argos–Shimano rider Thierry Hupond, but they were brought back before the first climb, the Alto de Azkarate. Extending his lead in the mountains classification was Amets Txurruka (Caja Rural–Seguros RGA), as he crossed the summit first. The field remained together until the second climb where Egor Silin of Astana, and the Movistar Team's José Herrada got clear on the first-category Alto de Urraki.


2013 Tour of the Basque Country, Stages, Stage 5
The group soon expanded to an eventual ten-rider maximum, and formed the stage's primary breakaway, however with several prime candidates for the race overall in the group, the gap never broke two minutes to the peloton. Txurruka's teammate Omar Fraile also joined them later in the stage, and soon attacked on his own with around 40 km (24.9 mi) remaining.


2013 Tour of the Basque Country, Stages, Stage 5
Team Sky were manning the front of the peloton, protecting team leader Richie Porte and the race leader Sergio Henao from any potential dangers on the roads. They had reduced Fraile's advantage to around a minute with 20 km (12.4 mi) remaining, at the top of the Alto de Barbaris. Fraile was eventually caught towards the top of the Alto de Olaberria; defending race winner Samuel Sánchez (Euskaltel–Euskadi) twice counter-attacked on the descent from the climb, but both moves were covered off by Team Sky.


2013 Tour of the Basque Country, Stages, Stage 5
Porte and Sánchez soon broke clear on the descent for a period, but were brought back to the main group. Porte attacked again with around 1.2 km (0.7 mi) remaining, and soloed away to victory by four seconds ahead of Sánchez and Henao. Porte's victory moved him to six seconds behind Henao, ahead of the final time trial in Beasain.


2013 Tour of the Basque Country, Stages, Stage 6
The final stage of the Tour of the Basque Country ended like it had done so for the past decade with a technical time trial in and around the town of Beasain. Over the 24 km (14.9 mi) parcours, there were three steep climbs averaging 6.9%, 7.3% and 12.1%, with the last of the trio coming with around 5 km (3.1 mi) remaining of the stage. As was customary of time trial stages, cyclists set off in reverse order from where they were ranked in the general classification at the end of the previous stage.


2013 Tour of the Basque Country, Stages, Stage 6
The previous day's stage resulted in around half of the peloton pulling out of the race, due to the conditions. Thus, Michael Albasini of Orica–GreenEDGE, who, in 73rd place, trailed overall leader Sergio Henao of Team Sky by fifty-five minutes and twenty-nine seconds, was the first rider to set off on the final stage.


2013 Tour of the Basque Country, Stages, Stage 6
Albasini was not the rider to reach the line however, as he was passed by Laurent Didier (RadioShack–Leopard) on the stage, with Didier setting the first benchmark of 38' 51". He was closely followed by Ag2r–La Mondiale's Christophe Riblon – who also passed Albasini on the stage – who recorded a time some 50 seconds quicker than Albasini.


2013 Tour of the Basque Country, Stages, Stage 6
Egor Silin (Astana) was the first rider beneath 38 minutes on the course with a 37' 24", but that was obliterated by the world time trial champion Tony Martin of the Omega Pharma–Quick-Step squad, who managed to complete the course in a time of 35' 05 ", 2' 19" quicker than Silin's time.


2013 Tour of the Basque Country, Stages, Stage 6
It would eventually be good enough to win the stage, with no other rider getting within fifteen seconds of his time; it was his third individual time trial win of 2013 – all coming on the final stage of races – after previous wins at the Volta ao Algarve and Tirreno–Adriatico. He also passed four riders during his stage-winning run to the finish, a performance which left him "satisfied".


2013 Tour of the Basque Country, Stages, Stage 6
The focus then shifted to the overall race battle, with five riders – Henao, Nairo Quintana (Movistar Team), Henao's teammate Richie Porte, Saxo–Tinkoff's Alberto Contador and Simon Špilak of Team Katusha – heading into the stage separated by only ten seconds. Špilak set the target time for the four riders behind him to chase, recording the third-fastest time at that point with a 35' 53" for the course. Contador was much slower than his rival, taking the course in a steady manner, and crossed the finish line nineteen seconds in arrears of Špilak.


2013 Tour of the Basque Country, Stages, Stage 6
The rain was not making for easy riding; at the intermediate time-check, Quintana was coping best with the conditions, pulling ten seconds on Porte and seventeen on Henao. Porte eventually displaced Špilak from third place, going eight seconds quicker than him, but his chances for the overall slipped away, as Quintana took twenty-three seconds out of him, recording a time of 35' 22". Henao tried his best to hold on to the win, but crossed the line forty seconds down on Quintana, giving Quintana his first World Tour win. Porte moved ahead of his teammate for second place, while Henao placed third by one solitary second ahead of Špilak.


2013 Tour of the Basque Country, Classification leadership table
In the 2013 Tour of the Basque Country, four different jerseys were awarded. For the general classification, calculated by adding each cyclist's finishing times on each stage, the leader received a yellow jersey. This classification was considered the most important of the 2013 Tour of the Basque Country, and the winner of the classification was considered the winner of the race.


2013 Tour of the Basque Country, Classification leadership table
Additionally, there was a points classification, which awarded a white jersey. In the points classification, cyclists received points for finishing in the top 15 in a stage. For winning a stage, a rider earned 25 points, second place earned 20 points, third 16, fourth 14, fifth 12, sixth 10, and one point fewer per place down to a single point for 15th. There was also a mountains classification, the leadership of which was marked by a red jersey with white dots. In the mountains classification, points were won by reaching the top of a climb before other cyclists, with more points available for the higher-categorised climbs.


2013 Tour of the Basque Country, Classification leadership table
The fourth jersey represented the sprints classification, marked by an orange jersey. In the sprints classification, cyclists received points for finishing in the top 3 at intermediate sprint points during each stage, with the exception of the final individual time trial stage. There was also a classification for teams, in which the times of the best three cyclists per team on each stage were added together; the leading team at the end of the race was the team with the lowest total time.

2013 Toyota Racing Series
Despite only winning two races during the season – one at Hampton Downs as well as a second New Zealand Grand Prix victory – Cassidy was over 100 points clear in the final championship standings, having finished each of the fifteen races in the top eight. Second place in the standings was settled by six points; as three-time winner Alex Lynn (M2 Competition) moved ahead of Auer – a two-time winner – with a second-place finish in the New Zealand Grand Prix, to Auer's sixth place and Lynn prevailed 803 to 797.


2013 Toyota Racing Series
Schothorst finished fourth in the championship, taking one victory with a win in the first race at Manfeild, while the top five in the championship was rounded out by Bruno Bonifacio of Giles Motorsport, who won at Taupo and was the benefactor of Auer's penalty in the second Manfeild race.

2013 Toyota Racing Series, Teams and drivers
Defending champion Nick Cassidy moved teams for his bid for a second consecutive title; having won the championship in 2012 with Giles Motorsport, Cassidy moved to the M2 Competition squad for 2013, as part of a six-car team. Alex Lynn – who was a race-winner in the series in 2011 – also returned to New Zealand with M2, where they were joined by British Formula 3 rookie class champion Spike Goddard, British Formula Ford competitor Ryan Cullen, Formula Renault Eurocup racer Steijn Schothorst, and Norwegian karter Dennis Olsen, who was competing in single-seaters for the first time. Cullen left the series after the second round of the season at Timaru, while Pieter Schothorst, brother of Steijn, joined the team for the New Zealand Grand Prix.


2013 Toyota Racing Series, Teams and drivers
Despite losing Cassidy to M2 Competition, Giles Motorsport entered a five-car squad for the Series. Lucas Auer, Bruno Bonifacio, and Félix Serrallés all remained with the team after finishing sixth, eighth and tenth respectively, in the 2012 championship. Serrallés' team-mate from British Formula 3, Pipo Derani, was also part of the team, while the team was completed by Nicholas Latifi, a race-winner in the final Italian Formula Three campaign.


2013 Toyota Racing Series, Teams and drivers

2013 Toyota Racing Series, Season review
At the opening round of the season at Teretonga, Lucas Auer took pole position for the opening race – as he had done in 2012 – after finishing fastest in the first qualifying session, which was held in dry conditions. By the time the second session had started, rain had started to fall and caused the drivers to take to the track on wet-weather tyres. By the end, Félix Serrallés had set a lap time three-tenths of a second quicker than anyone else to take pole for the feature race, the Spirit of a Nation.


2013 Toyota Racing Series, Season review
In the opening race, Auer led from start-to-finish to take his maiden win in the series, ahead of defending champion Nick Cassidy and Alex Lynn, who had swapped places from their starting positions. The top six positions were inverted for the reverse-grid race, where Pipo Derani repeated Auer's trait of the previous afternoon by leading from pole position to the chequered flag. He was followed home by Serrallés and Bruno Bonifacio; the latter's third place was short-lived as he was given a five-second time penalty for jumping the start, which promoted Lynn onto the podium.


2013 Toyota Racing Series, Season review
The Spirit of a Nation race saw Serrallés and Lynn lead away at the start, before the two drivers collided at the start of lap four; Lynn had tried to go around the outside of Serrallés into the first corner before the collision, which forced both drivers onto the grass. Lynn impacted with a tyre barrier, which sent his car into a barrel-roll before righting itself, and Lynn extricated himself from the wreckage. A red flag period followed, allowing Serrallés to return to the front of the field, where he remained for the rest of the race, to take the race victory and the championship lead. Auer finished second, while Steijn Schothorst achieved his first podium finish, in third.


2013 Toyota Racing Series, Season review
Timaru hosted the second round of the championship, where Auer again qualified on pole position for the weekend's opening race, setting a time around a quarter of a second quicker than any of his rivals. Cassidy would join him on the front row, edging out Bonifacio by 0.001 seconds. Auer also achieved pole position for the feature race, the Timaru Herald Trophy; here he was quicker than Lynn by just over a tenth of a second, while Bonifacio again marginally missed out on the front row, by 0.002 seconds on this occasion.


2013 Toyota Racing Series, Season review
Auer once again recorded a lights-to-flag victory, in the first race, by a margin of over four seconds to Cassidy in fifteen laps, while Bonifacio ensured the top three finished in starting order, half a second in arrears of Cassidy. The top six were inverted once again for the reverse-grid race, which meant that Serrallés started from pole position ahead of Damon Leitch. Serrallés managed to fend off the advances of Leitch during the fifteen-lap race, and won by just under half a second to retake the championship lead from Auer, after the latter's opening win.


2013 Toyota Racing Series, Season review
Cassidy completed the podium, as he continued his consistent start to the season. Auer was overtaken at the start of the Timaru Herald Trophy by Lynn, and despite pressuring him for the entire race, he was not able to find a way back past him; Lynn won the race by just over a quarter of a second ahead of Auer, who regained the championship lead from Serrallés – who finished the race third – in the process.


2013 Toyota Racing Series, Season review
At Taupo, Lynn locked out pole position in both qualifying sessions; he set the fastest time by half a tenth ahead of Cassidy in the first session, whereas in the second session – to set the grid for the Denny Hulme Memorial Trophy – Lynn's pole-setting margin was a far more comfortable three-tenths of a second, ahead of championship leader Auer. Lynn took a comfortable victory in the opening race, winning by nearly five seconds ahead of Cassidy, while the podium was completed by Schothorst.


2013 Toyota Racing Series, Season review
Auer extended his championship lead over Serrallés with a fifth-place finish, as the latter suffered a flat tyre during the race. The top four places were inverted for the reverse-grid race, with ultimately resorted into a battle between Bonifacio and Schothorst. Pulling almost fifteen seconds clear of the rest of the field, the duo battled for most of the race, with Bonifacio prevailing by around a second. Auer finished third ahead of Cassidy, who moved into second place in the championship. The Denny Hulme Memorial Trophy shook up the championship proceedings as Auer and Schothorst collided, causing Auer to pit. At the front, Lynn led every lap en route to victory, ahead of Cassidy and Bonifacio. Despite not winning a race at any of the meetings, Cassidy assumed the championship lead due to his consistency, ahead of Auer and Serrallés.


2013 Toyota Racing Series, Season review
The following event at Hampton Downs saw the return of two-time series champion Mitch Evans, who after taking the 2012 GP3 Series title, was taking part in a one-off event to maintain race sharpness ahead of his GP2 Series campaign later in the season, with the Arden International team. Evans rejoined Giles Motorsport, the team he won both of his championship title with, and took a double pole position for the opening and closing races of the weekend. A somewhat surprising second in the first session with gamer-turned-racer Jann Mardenborough occupying the front row for race one, alongside Evans.


2013 Toyota Racing Series, Season review
Evans' pole-winning margin for race three was just 0.001 seconds – the closest margin in series history – ahead of Lynn. Championship leader Cassidy could only qualify sixth and seventh for the races. The first race had to be restarted after Bonifacio launched over the back of Mardenborough's car at the hairpin, eliminating himself from the race. After repairs, Mardenborough was able to line up on the grid once again; he ultimately fell down the order to sixth place, as Evans led home Lynn, Derani, Cassidy and Auer.


2013 Toyota Racing Series, Season review
The top four places were inverted for the race two grid, where Cassidy extended his points lead with his first victory of the season. He pulled clear of the field by over four seconds to win from Derani and Auer. The feature race, the New Zealand Motor Cup, was just as comfortable for Evans as it was in the opening race, leading from start to finish. Lynn finished second, while Cassidy further extended his championship advantage, ahead of Auer.


2013 Toyota Racing Series, Season review
For the second season in a row, the championship concluded with the New Zealand Grand Prix meeting at Manfeild. No fewer than eight drivers had a mathematical chance of winning the championship title: Cassidy, Auer, Lynn, Schothorst, Serrallés, Derani, Leitch and Bonifacio. Lynn set the fastest time in the first two qualifying sessions, and thus guaranteeing himself pole position for the opening race of the weekend, the Dan Higgins Trophy.


2013 Toyota Racing Series, Season review
Auer set the fastest time during the third "super-pole" session, but Lynn took pole for the Grand Prix, with the second fastest time in the session combined with his times in the first two sessions. Schothorst would join Lynn on the front row for the Dan Higgins Trophy and Cassidy was alongside for the Grand Prix. In the Dan Higgins Trophy, Schothorst made the better start from second place on the grid, and moved ahead of Lynn on the opening lap.


2013 Toyota Racing Series, Season review
Schothorst held the lead until the end of the race, called three laps shy of its original distance after Mardenborough spun off the track, to take his first victory. Cassidy was second to further extend his points lead over Lynn and Auer, who were third and fourth. The top eight drivers were inverted for the race two grid, leaving Serrallés on pole position. Schothorst and Auer battled for position, with Auer forcing his rival off the track. Auer ultimately passed Bonifacio and Serrallés on-the-road, to take the victory, but was eventually given a 50-second penalty for dangerous driving.


2013 Toyota Racing Series, Season review
Bonifacio inherited the victory, ahead of Cassidy and Ignazio D'Agosto, after Serrallés and Derani were also given penalties. Cassidy's second place, coupled with Lynn finishing thirteenth after an early off, secured a second consecutive title. Cassidy cemented his title triumph with a second New Zealand Grand Prix victory in succession, leading every lap of the 35-lap race. Lynn finished second, and coupled with Auer finishing only sixth, was able to take the runner-up position in the standings. Auer finished a disgruntled third in the championship, stating that he would not return to the series unless there was "large commercial incentive in it" as a competitor. Schothorst completed the final podium of the season, as he sealed fourth in the championship standings.


2013 Toyota Racing Series, Race calendar and results
The calendar for the series was announced on 22 August 2012, with the calendar remaining unchanged from the 2012 season. Again, series organisers announced that the series would run over five successive weekends in January and February, culminating in the New Zealand Grand Prix meeting.


2013 Toyota Racing Series, Race calendar and results
At each of the first four race weekends, two qualifying sessions were held in order to establish the grids for the first and third races of each meeting. The first fifteen-minute session establishes the grid for the opening race, while the second session of fifteen minutes established the grid for the final race of the meeting, denoted as the feature race. In between, the grid for the second race was established via a partially reversed grid and the conduction of a marble draw by the first race winner. Based upon the finishing positions of the first race, the grid could be inverted by either four, six or eight positions via the marble draw.


2013 Toyota Racing Series, Race calendar and results
This format varied at the New Zealand Grand Prix meeting, as three fifteen-minute sessions were held. The starting order for the opening race of the meeting was established using the fastest time for each driver in either of the first two sessions. The second race would use a partially reversed grid as normal, while the grid order for the final race – the New Zealand Grand Prix itself – was to be established using an average of each driver's fastest lap in each session.


2013 Toyota Racing Series, Championship standings
In order for a driver to score championship points, they had to complete at least 90% of the race winner's distance. All races counted towards the final championship standings.

The Chute was only used for NASCAR events such as this race, and was criticized by many drivers, who preferred the full layout. In 2001, it was replaced with a 70-degree turn, 4A, bringing the track to its current dimensions of 1.99 miles (3.20 km). Clint Bowyer was the defending race winner after winning the race in 2012.
