| “It was definitely a tough day,” said race leader Tejay van Garderen post stage. “The breakaway took a really long time to get along and my team had to control it the whole time. That, coupled with the cold and the rain, made it pretty hard, especially on my team because they had to pull all day.” | share this photo |

| Laurent DIDIER (TREK FACTORY RACING) hung on for the win in Breckenridge ahead of 2nd Janier ACEVEDO (GARMIN SHARP) 3rd Rob BRITTON (TEAM SMARTSTOP) after a miserable day of racing | share this photo |

| “Today, I didn’t feel that good in the beginning. The first 40K was quite hard, but I was in the front at one point,” said Didier. “The really big thing here is the altitude. When I talk to other people about it, they really don’t understand until they actually experience it. When you’re in Denver, you’re going flat, but you’re already about 1,800 ft. up. In Europe, 1,800 ft. is the top of the climb and in Denver, we’re already there.” | share this photo |

| “It was sprinkling, but I was a lot more dry toward the end of the stage than the rest of the day,” said Ben King 4th + 15s. “That high altitude is also cold. Then, you have that 15 minute descent when you’re not pedaling much and you get even colder.” | share this photo |
