Stage 1, August 18 (also my dad's birthday!), went from Ogden to the U's Research Park in the foothills above SLC, touring past Snowbasin ski resort, through Morgan County, past East Canyon reservoir and through Emigration Canyon for a total of 85 miles. The biggest hill climb was over Big Mountain for 2,000 feet of elevation in about six miles.
L to R: David Tanner, Alex Dowsett and Javier Megias
H was there for the finish. The racers sort of snuck up on the announcers who'd gotten misinformation from a team car radio and thus were a little unprepared and surprised when David Tanner sprinted across the finish line. Alex Dowsett won the stage - and also Best Young Rider and King of the Mountain ... but it won't last [SPOILER].
