| 22 year-old Robin CARPENTER (HINCAPIE SPORTSWEAR DEVELOPMENT) survived a long break and late race neutralization to win by just 6s over Alex HOWES (GARMIN SHARP) and 3rd Tejay VAN GARDEREN (BMC RACING). “I attacked my breakaway companions about 10K away from the climb,” said Carpenter. “I couldn’t see anyone. The last time check I saw was 30 seconds to the peloton. I had it in my head that if I could get over the top of Kebler Pass with enough time, I could end up getting to Crested Butte with 30-40 seconds. This win is huge for us and for me personally it’s massive – the best ride I’ve had in my short career so far.” | share this photo |
