This footage is pretty horrid, so watch at your own peril
VIDEO
The rider was Matt Brammieier. According to the team, he went to hospital but it was only as a precaution.
Interesting to see how a few of the riders before him misjudged the corner.

I am live blogging the race again. https://www.theroa...rage-blog/
Hoping Dombrowski gets more of a challenge today, but after how good he was yesterday, can not see it happening.

Stunning landscape and pictures. I was on holiday once in Utah, such a beautiful, vast & varied state.

I love the commentators and especially the live ticker, but its such a weak field that I have trouble watching more than a few minutes in a row...

Doesn't matter, it's still quality racing. Stage 5 was amazing.
I hope they'll do Tour Tracker for the World Championships in Richmond. It'd be the best thing ever.

Boy the commentators sure like to talk about Taylor Phinney.

Boy does it matter to me who the hell I am watching.
I missed yesterday, but I wanna watch Dombro today and that young stud form Columbia at 19 today.

This is actually pretty boring considering the situation, you rarely see this in the WT races (especially in last mountain stage) - the GC guys with absolutely no teammates are not attacking, just riding the tempo...

Joe too strong + the unbelievable high Altitude... some attacks would be good but on this level of height it's must be really a huge challenge to find the legs and courage to make a move.

Bookwalter being dropped like 10 times on that climb, and now looks like he will get the win

Tracker has the uncanny ability of refusing work in the last two kilometers. Happened more than once by now.
Good race in Utah, although Empire Pass was quite disappointing. Good one by Norris.

Kinda sad that the field this year, is so weak. But i'm not to suprised, since we have like 4 stage races overlapping each other.

Had the same problems. Oh well.
Bookwalter with second today may have knicked the points jersey.

So me too had big trouble on the last downhill with tourtracker. I thought it was my internet connection, but obviously not.
Very nice for Joe Dombrowski. He found a new home away from Sky then.
Nice

Very very happy that Joe Dombrowski has won his first stage race! Hopefully more to come,. I hope he can fight all the way back from his injuries and Sky stunt and reach his full potential!

Dombro seemed to be the only one capable of putting time into the rest in that weak as sfield. Honestly I would have hoped he just did it, won his second stage and gave us some fun, but I can see why he chose not do. Definetely the safer option. You probably dont want to go all out two days in a row with the Vuelta in mind? Anyways, what a fluid and pure climber he is.
Martinez, 19 years, Columbian. Will ride Avenir, looking forward to that.
