Kadtagenero - Thanks..  Well, we wanted Arredondo( already said it before) but Atapuma is a little better, so i´m happy. 
Yes, sprints were one of our weakest points, i´m sure we will win some nice mass sprint finishes..
*sutty68 - Yes he did mate..  .. lovely country.

*kenske - Thanks .. nice to see you here again.
*sutty68 - Thanks mate
Teams
Not many teams but some strong riders wich can make the diference in this 1st stage..
Jamis Squad
 E.Lefebvre and  C.Barnes will race their 1st race, we hope they can handle it..
Stage 1
Our number 55, P.Mooney was our main rider for this TT but he lost some time when he had to avoid one spectator.. 47th time, +34"..  J.J.Haedo is our best rider today with -2" then Mooney..
One rider wich we are watching for 2015, N.Brown(BLS) rides a great TT and sets a NBT in 9´26"..
Movistar brings lots of TT specialists and  A.Amador is one of them.. he beats Brown´s best time by 3" and wins the stage..
Stage Top10 / Results
General Classification
Stage 2
After the time lost in 1st stage, we had to have someone in the break and today was P.Mooney... within the 25kms mark, they are caught..
With all the teams fighting to have the best position for the final sprint, race leader A.Amador surprises everyone with an attack on the last 600meters..
Nobody was prepared and Amador wins again.. J.J.Haedo sprints for 2nd.. good result but not what the sponsor wants..
Stage Top10
General Classification
Stage 3 / Final Stage
For this last stage, all expect to see a mass sprint finish.. T.Wren was in the break but once again they are reeled in with 13kms to go..
At the same time, it was only needed one rider to fall down for others to join him too.. Wren was involved too.
Mass sprint it was and Haedo wins the stage.. not our Haedo but his brother, L.S.Haedo(CAN).. our Haedo sprints for 2nd again..

Well, we didn´t achieved sponsor goal but i think they are happy with 2 second places...

Bad luck for your Haedo being beaten by a surprising move and his brother. But also not too bad, especially as your race kicked off with this confused spectator

*tsmoha - Yes, we were close to sponsor goal but have to be happy with the result.. some people just doesn´t understand how dangerous that is for a rider..

Bad luck at the Elk Grove there!
I'm sure JJ let his brother win!

*kadtagenero - Janier will ride Utah, Romero isn´t a leader, he´s only 69mo now, maybe will help Janier...
*The Rider - Don´t be so sure.. Well, i can make stages if that´s what you asking..
*sutty68 - Yes, only not enought for stage win..
I´m not sure if there will be any report today but i can inform you that Jamis signed 2 riders for the U23 squad and these 2 will "jump" sometimes to the main squads, they work like a back up in case of injuries or schedules....
Anyway, i wish you all Happy New Year..

Hi i really like your signings have been away for a while but really love your signings and as u said its defo not overpowerd. Will you promote this year?
Arredondo indeed would have been great(can wait or his year irl at Trek) but think Ataphuma is good for you. Could i ask if u dont mid how good Acevedo can become becuase in most of my carear's he gets 78 and sometimes even 79 mountain. Hope he can be with you for the day your in WT and he leads the Vuelta maybe, he is so talented. |

*atlanta - Thanks, . Promotion isn´t certain at this point but we are in position to promote, yes..
Atapuma will be great for us, we tried to give some depth to the team in mountains and sprints.. Acevedo has at this point 77mo/77hill ( due to earned points before) and has 1 MO star, so he probably will get what you say.. Acevedo has a contract with us until 2015..

Stage 1
Tour of Utah gets started..
With the 1st kom sprint only 6kms away, M.Cooke attacks..
He reaches the top with 2´21"gap to the pack..
Int. sprint, Cooke leads with 9´21"gap...
With the gap getting dangerous, Cannondale leads the chase now..
M.Cooke rides at his own pace, his gap drops to 7´52"...
With 25kms to the 2nd kom sprint, we try to sabotage the chase in the peloton.. 4´43" now..
M.Cooke achieves what he wanted.. 2nd kom sprint.. 2´52"gap..
After the sprint, B.J.Maynes attacks..
J.P.McCarty(BPL) joins Maynes downhill.. 32" ahead of peloton, they will not make it.
20kms to go.. Cooke knows that peloton is right behind him..
He´s finally reeled in by the pack when they enter the town.. 12kms to go.. great ride from Cooke.
Final sprint.. J.J.Haedo follows K.Hanson´s wheel..
While Haedo fights his way to the front,  A.Blythe(BMC) leads..
.. and wins 1st stage.. Haedo sprints for 3rd.. great start.

Good start! Blythe a class of his own though, but JHS showing their colors all the way plus a podium ain't bad at all.

*ALL - thanks guys , indeed a good start. Nice to see you here Faillu.
With the next 2 stages being kind of similar in the last kms, we might try something with Acevedo..

Stage 2
M.Cooke managed to win the first 3 kom sprints, he is building a nice lead now..
We reach Oak Creek Mountain where the last kom sprint is situated.. Cooke is still in front,  J.Acevedo starts to raise the pace in peloton..
With Cooke caught, J.Acevedo managed to escape but  D.Caruso(CAN), M.Busche(RLT) and D.Pozzovivo(ALM) came with him...
.. with such descent, the other small groups catch up with Acevedo´s group..
At the end, we had a mass sprint finish with  D.Martin crossing 1st the line.. Acevedo and Haedo finish with this group.
