Canadian Moves into Overall Race Lead with
Individual Time Trial Win at Tour of Utah
General Classification Shakeup after Stage 3 at Big Cottonwood Canyon
BIG COTTONWOOD CANYON, UTAH (Aug. 2, 2017) – Canadian Rob Britton of Rally Cycling cranked out the best time of 18 minutes and 29 seconds in the Individual Time Trial (ITT) on Wednesday at the 2017 Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah. With the victory at Stage 3 presented by Workfront, Britton vaulted to the overall lead in the general classification (G.C.) and earned the Larry H. Miller Group of Companies overall leader jersey.
Serghei Tvetcov (ROM) of Jelly Belly Cycling presented by Maxxis was 12 seconds behind to take second place. With a third-place ITT finish, 26 seconds back, Gavin Mannion (USA) of UnitedHealthcare Pro Cycling Team moved into second place overall.
“This has been my objective pretty much since [the Amgen Tour of] California, one of the main objectives for the whole year. We set new standards for how to train and get ready for these races. I was really excited when I saw that there was going to be an uphill time trial at this race, something that suits my strengths well,” said Britton about being in the leader’s jersey for a UCI stage race. “With today's ride and how I felt yesterday, we're right where we want to be. We brought the team to take care of me and Sepp [Kuss]. We've very confident.”
The return of the popular ITT, last held in 2011, delivered a major shakeup in the overall standings. Britton, who was 10th on G.C. on Tuesday, now leads Mannion by 26 seconds overall. Tvetcov is in third, a further two seconds down. Finishing 33 seconds off the stage winner, Kyle Murphy (USA) of Cylance Cycling moves to fourth overall.
Sepp Kuss (USA) of Rally Cycling, who won Stage 2 in Snowbasin Resort on Tuesday, dropped down to 10th place, one minute and two seconds behind his teammate. Finishing 11th in the ITT in Big Cottonwood Canyon, Brent Bookwalter (USA) of BMC Racing Team moves from second to sixth on G.C., 44 seconds back. Taylor “T.J.” Eisenhart of Holowesko-Citadel presented by Hincapie Sportswear, who resides in Lehi, jumped to seventh overall, 58 seconds down. Neilson Powless (USA) moves from seventh to fifth on G.C., 38 seconds behind the leader and retained the WCF Insurance Best Young Rider jersey.
Starting at an elevation of 7,300 feet, the course climbed 1,725 vertical feet and provided a tough 5.6-mile ascent of Big Cottonwood Canyon. With a 5.5 percent average gradient, the course passed Solitude Mountain Resort en route to the finish at Brighton Resort.
“It was a great course. This course is pretty high compared to other time trials I've done uphill. For myself, I tried to go as hard as I can, I didn't really think about time or anything else,” said Tvetcov, who set the fastest intermediate time of 10:16. “And finally I got a pretty good time.”
Three riders retained classification jerseys - Jacob Rathe (USA) of Jelly Belly Cycling presented by Maxxis in the Utah Office of Tourism King of the Mountain jersey; Chris Lawless (GBR) of Axeon Hagens Berman Cycling Team in the Utah Sports Commission Sprint jersey; and Canadian Adam De Vos of Rally Cycling in the Larry H. Miller Dealerships Most Aggressive Rider jersey. James Piccoli (CAN) of Elevate-KHS Pro Cycling, who put in a blistering attack in the finale of Stage 2, was voted America First Credit Union Fan Favorite for Stage 3 presented by Workfront, in the category of Best Climber.
Stage 4 presented by Workfront covers new territory across 125 miles in Salt Lake, Tooele and Utah counties on Thursday, Aug. 3. The stage begins with the inaugural start/finish in South Jordan City. The race will head to the west desert and Rush Valley. In the shadows of the Oquirrh Mountains, riders will find little protection from the wind. Two Utah Sports Commission Sprints will be contested on the out-and-back section of SR 73 at Cedar Fort. With 4,000 feet of elevation gain, this should bring a Wild West finish back into South Jordan. There will be two finishing circuits of three miles each around South Jordan City Park.
The Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah continues to be free for all spectators, making professional cycling one of the most unique professional sports in the world today. Fans can follow the race live each day with mobile applications from Tour Tracker powered by Adobe®, as well as live coverage each day on FOX Sports Networks (FS2 nationally).
