The Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah 2014, 4-10 of August (2.1)

[Dazed and Confused]

It doesn't seem the descent will make a big difference here.

And Horner is not Nibali or Valverde. Evans for the win again?

The descent is perfect, but a solid rider needs to attack before the top of the climb to stay away.

just watching...the solid voice of bobke hooray utah
great race once again
vuelta contenders evans, papy and keldermerckx looking good!

will there be a tommy d-majka showdown anywhere? on the false flat of monarch mountain oh great...stupid race of colorado.

 

[manafana]

good win for cadel, also good see zoidl going strong after some off times. We all know who the english speaking teams will be chasing after this week.

How steep is today's climb?

While I cheered Evans yesterday, I don't think he can hang on to Danielson, Horner or even youngster Kelderman on a very brutal climb.

look at you, you are 28m still fitghing about a menaingless stage in a meaningless race about a meaningless dutch rider. the same stuff you were doing on forums 15 years ago.

congrats to cadel. no country for old men....except utah

i will download the stage today.
the sponsors should definitely drop colorado and hype this race. tour of utah, for me one of the best races of the world to be honest. it should get international broadcast at least.
today i hope for papy or alex diniz victory

Indeed. Always good racing @ Utah while Colorado usually is a snoozefest.

Quite. 13km at 8% average (not counting the last part which is false flat) with maximum 20%. Nearly 1000m gain. http://tracks4bikers.com/beta_tracks/show/213773

If it isn't raced too hard, Cadel may take it with a sprint to the line.

Majka isn't going to start anyway in USA. Read that on twitter.

Somehow it's better on tour tracker.

Majka isn't going to the USA pro challenge? I read that he was.

Belkin pacing for Kelderman.

Belkin pacing for Kelderman.

Big risk with a climb that doesn't really seem fit for Kelderman. Too steep.

They must be thinking they can do something because they are setting a very fast pace.

I hope he doesn't. Not after going hard in 2 consecutive races. It's a waste.

Hes getting better everyday obviously, he will drop the entire peleton on his own. Victory is certain.

The feed was poor last year and Eurosport cancelled the coverage after a couple of days. Probably why they didn't show it this year.

Somehow it's better on tour tracker.

I have been watching it on tv all week and it's much better. You want to see the race get more exposure. You can bring a lot more fanbase into the net with more international tv coverage. Unbelievable Cali gets more attention.

I think it's been an excellent week of racing. Highly enjoyable.

BigMac, thanks for the profile of the climb. Potential for more action before we finish off.

 

[Kwibus]

Hope the Tour of Utah will be able to gather more attention and capable of getting better footage so Eurosport will broadcast it again.

This stage race has by far the best potential of the US stage races.

True, but if you don't try you won't win either.

 

[Rollthedice]

The climb just started and Danielson is already in front?

 

[Rollthedice]

Deniz moves. The climb looks brutal.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Hermans and Evans dropped already

 

[glassmoon]

Pappy out of the saddle

Anacona, Danielson and George Bennett
