The hardest race in the USA they say, high altitude mountain racing.

Amazing route, too bad the race is pretty badly placed in order to attract a better field. I really like this race, its always pretty good.

Maybe they have trouble finding flat roads in Utah ? I think you are right, the race is awkwardly placed on the calendar but also not the easiest race to see live coverage of. I have tried in the past without much luck.

I'll be curious to see how Dani Martinez goes. It would be nice to see him back to 100% for the Vuelta.

EF sending a really strong team and Trek just sending a team of stagiaires + their two americans and Eg. Don't know why PCS still lists Ciccone, although Trek confirmed their team a few days ago.

That's a shame I was excited when I saw his name on the list.

They don't anymore.

Last year we had a breakthrough performance by Sepp Kuss from Jumbo Visma who really flew up those climbs. Hope we see something similar this year.

Martinez have has some bad luck this year!
I was looking forward to see him racing again.
I hope this doesn't set him back on his preparation for the Vuelta.

So who's the big favorite now, Dombrowski?
Yeah, probably, if he's in good shape he should be the big favourite.
Pretty poor team by Trek. Of course Ciccone and Mollema are both tired after riding Giro-Tour and Donostia, but there is no reason why Porte couldn't show up here for the main sponsor instead of doing a stupid Everest challenge.

exactly my thoughts. Really underwhelming for an american registered team.

Such a weak field for a HC-race. Take out Hermans and there is no top 100-rider (UCI, CQ, PCS, all you like) present.
