Lachlan David Morton (Garmin – Sharp) wygrał po pięknej, solowej akcji trzeci etap i został nowym liderem Tour of Utah. Najszybszy z grupki pościgowej był Greg Van Avermaet (BMC), a trzecie miejsce zajął Lucas Euser (UnitedHealthcare Presented by Maxxis).
Trzeci etap The Larry H.Miller Tour of Utah prowadził z Richfield do Payson i liczył 191 km. Na kolarzy czekała tylko jedna górska premia, ale za to kategorii pierwszej (Mount Nebo).
Dziś mieliśmy ucieczkę aż dwudziestu zawodników, którzy z kilometra na kilometr się wykruszali. Na początku podjazdu pod jedyną górską premię na czele była trójka: Lawson Craddock (Bontrager Cycling Team), Benjamin King (RadioShack – Leopard) i Carter Jones (Bissell Pro Cycling). Tempa kolegów nie wytrzymał Craddock i tylko dwójka kolarzy została na czele. Craddock wraz z Tiago Machado (RadioShack – Leopard) i Lachlanem Mortonem (Garmin – Sharp) jechali ze stratą 35 sekund, uszczuplony peleton tracił do liderów minutę i 30 sekund.
Lachlan Morton nie dawał za wygraną i szybko złapał prowadzącą dwójkę. Młody zawodnik Garmin tylko chwilę towarzyszył liderom i zdecydował się na solową akcję. 25 km przed metą Morton miał 90 sekund przewagi nad grupką 17 zawodników: Greg Van Avermaet, Michael Schar, Jakub Novak ( wszyscy BMC), Chris Jones, Benjamin Day, Lucas Euser, Philip Deignan (wszyscy UnitedHealthcare Presented by Maxxis), Tiago Machado, Benjamin King, Chris Horner, Matthew Busche, George Bennett (wszyscy RadioShack – Leopard), Carter Jones (Bissell Pro Cycling), Thomas Danielson, Peter Stetina, Rohan Dennis (wszyscy Garmin – Sharp), Tsgabu Gebremaryam Grmay (Team MTN Qhubeka).
Morton na zjeździe nie tracił zbyt dużo do konkurentów i z przewagą 33 sekund wygrał dzisiejszy etap! To największy sukces tego młodego zawodnika, w jego krótkiej przygodzie z kolarstwem. Dodatkowo do jutrzejszego etapu wystartuje on w koszulce lidera klasyfikacji generalnej!
Najszybszy z grupki, która podążała za Mortonem był Greg Van Avermaet (BMC). Widać, że Belg jest w bardzo dobrej dyspozycji i mocno popracował nad swoją szybkością. Trzecie miejsce zajął Lucas Euser (UnitedHealthcare Presented by Maxxis).
