Janier Acevedo (Jamis – Hagens Berman) wygrał czwarty etap USA Pro Challenge. Drugi linię mety przeciął nowy lider wyścigu, Tejay van Garderen (BMC). Trzecie miejsce zajął Mathias Frank (także BMC).
Czwarty etap USA Pro Challenge zapowiadał się na ten, który pozmienia klasyfikację generalną. Kolarze startowali ze Steamboat Springs, a po 165,6 km mieli finiszować w Beaver Creek. Po drodze czekały na nich cztery górskie premie, także sama meta była usytuowana na podjeździe trzeciej kategorii. Największą trudnością był podjazd pierwszej kategorii pod Bachelor Gulch na niespełna 12 km przed metą.
Od początku etapu w ucieczce kręcili: Jason McCartney (Bissell Pro Cycling), Tony Gallopin (RadioShack – Leopard), Lawrence Warbasse (BMC Racing Team),Serghei Tvetcov (Jelly Belly p/b Kenda), Michael Rogers, Timothy Duggan (obaj Saxo – Tinkoff), Davide Villella (Cannondale), Matt Cooke (Jamis – Hagens Berman),Danny Pate, Kanstantsin Sivtsov (obaj Sky Procycling).
Około 55 km przed metą ucieczka podzieliła się. Na czele znaleźli się Gallopin, Warbasse, Rogers, Villela i Sivtsov. Na początku podjazdu pod Bachelor Gulch peleton bardzo szybko zmniejszył się do około 30 zawodników, a uciekająca trójka miała minutę i 30 sekund przewagi. Najdłużej z ucieczki utrzymał się Rogers, za którym jechała bardzo mała grupka, już bez lidera klasyfikacji generalnej, Lachlana Mortona (Garmin – Sharp).
Jeszcze przed Bachelor Gulch Rogers został złapany przez czwórkę zawodników: Thomas Danielson (Garmin – Sharp), Janier Alexis Acevedo Colle (Jamis – Hagens Berman), Tejay van Garderen i Mathias Frank (obaj BMC Racing Team). Na szczycie jako pierwsza pojawiła się trójka: Danielson, Acevedo i van Garderen. Problemem przy zjeździe była mokra od deszczu droga, co spowolniło Danielsona. Do zawodnika Garmin – Sharp dołączył Mathias Frank.
Prowadząca dwójka nie dała się już doścignąć konkurentom. W mocno padającym deszczu wygrał Acevedo, któremu van Garderen oddał zwycięstwo. Trzecie miejsce zajął kolejny kolarz BMC, Mathias Frank.
