Fani amerykańskich wyścigów mogli dziś obserwować spokojny dzień na Tour of Utah. Po świetnym rozprowadzeniu przez kolegów z drużyny Belkin, kolejny raz zwyciężył Moreno Hofland.
Trzeci etap Tour of Utah nie obfitował w trudności. Na trasie liczącej 190 kilometrów na kolarzy czekała tylko jedna premia górska czwartej kategorii, a oprócz niej mieli okazję zmierzyć się na dwóch lotnych premiach. Warto zauważyć, że dzisiaj miała miejsce także pierwsza edycja Tour of Utah Women’s Race.
Wracając jednak do wyścigu mężczyzn, zaraz po starcie uformowała się pięcioosobowa ucieczka, w której jechali: Jacob Rathe (Jelly Belly Cycling Presented by Maxxis), Darren Lapthorne (Drapac Professional Cycling), Daniel Eaton (Bissell Development Team), Daniel Summerhill (UnitedHealthcare) i Tyler Wren (Jamis- Hagens Presented By Sutter Home). Przez większość etapu ich przewaga oscylowała wokół dwóch i pół – trzech minut, ale – jak nietrudno się domyślić – nie wystarczyło to na dojechanie do mety.
Wszyscy poza Jacobem Rathe zostali złapani na ponad 10 km przed metą, a i Amerykanin z zespołu Jelly Belly Cycling utrzymał się przed peletonem niewiele dłużej. W grupie zasadniczej mocne tempo dyktował Belkin, włączały się także drużyny UnitedHealthcare i Optum. Sprinterskich pociągów nie powstrzymała nawet groźnie wyglądająca kraksa niedaleko od mety. Niełatwe zadanie miał więc przed sobą lider Jure Kocjan, który w obliczu dominacji wyżej wymienionych ekip nie do końca potrafił wypracować odpowiednią pozycję.
Przed samym finiszem udało mu się jednak przesunąć na szóste miejsce i takie właśnie zajął na mecie, a – między innymi dzięki doskonałej organizacji ekipy Belkin – drugie zwycięstwo w tegorocznym wyścigu odniósł Moreno Hofland. Tym samym założył koszulkę najlepszego sprintera, a Kocjan utrzymał prowadzenie w wyścigu. Zaraz za zawodnikiem Belkin uplasowali się Andrea Palini (Lampre-Merida) i Eric Young (Optum). Wyścig kobiet wygrała natomiast Coryn Rivera (UnitedHealthcare), a kolejne miejsca zajęły Mandy Heinz (Guru Cycles Presented By Haute Wheels Racing) i Meredith Miller (Pepper Palace Pro Cycling).
