But, that was a great sprint by Sutherland

At least it's live and uncut this year.

Tour of Utah, Stage 1
1. Rory Sutherland (UnitedHealthcare/AUS)
2. Damiano Caruso (Liquigas - Cannondale/ITA) s.t.
3. Brent Bookwalter (BMC/USA) s.t.

Vuelta a Leon, Stage 1
1. Danny van Poppel (Rabobank/NED) 3h44'23"
2. Zakkari Dempster (Endura/AUS) s.t.
3. Francisco Pacheco (Gios Deyser - Leon Kastro/ESP) s.t.

Pretty strange "sprint" result.

So the commentator says TTT start order tomorrow is the reversed GC.
Wasn't it used to be reversed team classification?

Not sure about the start orders tomorrow...

I'm going to head out to Miller Motor Sports Park to watch the TTT, hope its not too hot. Last year they had an ITT at the same place that I went too and it was like 90 degrees and there was no shade

Rory sets down the trophy, but raises his bottle

Tour de l'Ain, Stage 2A

1. Yauheni Hutarovich (FDJ-BigMat)
2. André Schulze (Team Netapp) s.t
3. Sébastien Chavanel (Europcar) s.t

Hutarovich is on fire, well all the FDJ sprinters are, during the majority of the year.

Tour de l'Ain, Stage 2b (TTT)
1. OmegaPharma - Quick Step 12'02"
2. Team NetApp 03"
3. Team Saxo Bank - Tinkoff Bank 11"

Schulze takes the leader's jersey.

Vuelta a Leon, Stage 2
1. Jose Belda (Gsport Valencia terra i mar/ESP) 4h13'10"
2. Sergey Belykh (Lokosphinx/RUS) 01'15"
3. Angel Vallejo (Supermercados Froiz/ESP) 01'15"

Great TTT by NetApp

Especially since they dont have the resources to ever do any special TTT training, unlike teams like Garmin and Sky!

And i bet there budget isn't even a quarter of the other two

Interesting stage, was pretty fun to watch. Omega Quickstep failed, and Levi will have a lot of time to make up. Garmin really dominated the TTT like they usually do. Next stage is another interesting one. I'm heading to the finish, will probably be a breakaway or a sprint in the peleton.

Are there any sprint stages?

Apparently, wind was quite strong earlier in the day, making life difficult for the first teams to go out (including QS).

Garmin looking very sharp in Utah (no pun intended)

@baseballlover- Stage 4 is supposed to be a sprint stage, but you never know I've never seen a normal (like in the tdf on flat stages) sprint in the Tour of Utah


It was a little more windy at the start, but I don't think that made much of a difference (mabye 10 or 20 seconds). The real reason why OPQS did so bad (in my opinion) is because they started with only 6 riders. All the other teams had 8.

Stage 3 is underway: https://tourtracker.tourofutah.com/

Stentina is looking really good on the first climb, the Peleton is spliting already!

Vandevelde doesn't look as good as I expected him to. Lucas Euser looks good, winning the first KoM.

I'm leaving for the finish

You mean sharp as barracuda teeth?
