Piccoli Remains Second at Tour of Utah After Stage 5
Australian Lachlan Morton (EF Education First) outsprinted his breakaway companion at the line to win Stage 5 of Utah Health in a thrilling photo finish at Canyons Village at Park City Mountain. Morton, who won the 2016 Tour of Utah, scored his fourth career stage win in Utah in a time of 3 hours and 5 minutes. James Piccoli (Elevate KHS) finished 18th on the stage and remains second overall, conceding an additional two seconds to overall leader Ben Hermans (Israel Cycling Academy), and is now 46 seconds back going into the final stage.
Morton was a member of the 11-rider breakaway, which escaped early in the 85.1 mile (137 kilometre) stage. The steep slopes of Olympic Parkway at Utah Olympic Park are where Morton and Hayden McCormick (Team BridgeLane) launched their attack and blazed a trail to the finish line together.
"I'm not normally one to look at the finish, but I had a feeling. So five minutes before the start, I went and rode the last 300 metres," Morton said about scoping out the uphill finish at Canyons Village at Park City Mountain. "The only chance to come around is in the last 50 (metres). Very perfect timing for me, which I'd love to say that I planned, but sometimes luck falls that way and you get the win."
In a hard-fought sprint, McCormick took second place by a tire-width difference. The battle for third place was taken by Simone Velasco (NIPPO-Vini Fantini-Faizanè,) who outmaneuvered the chase group which included Stage 4 winner and teammate Marco Canola and Evan Huffman (Rally UHC Cycling). Velasco crossed the line 18 seconds behind the winner.
"Today I wanted to try and get the KOM jersey, which was the main goal of the day. Obviously, I tried to win the stage. It was a good day, nice to redeem myself a little bit after yesterday," said McCormick, who was leading Stage 4 in Salt Lake City on Friday and posted one lap early to fall four minutes behind the eventual winner. On Saturday, he claimed the Utah Office of Tourism King of the Mountain jersey.
Belgian Ben Hermans (Israel Cycling Academy) retained the Leader's yellow jersey by finishing safely in 16th place. With little change in the overall standings, Hermans holds a 46-second lead over James Piccoli, and a 1 minute, 10 second margin over Niklas Eg (Trek-Segafredo). Finishing in 14th place, João Almeida (Hagens Berman Axeon) moved up one spot in sixth overall and retained the Best Young Rider jersey. Morton's teammate and 2015 Tour of Utah champion Joe Dombrowski moved up from sixth to fifth in the G.C.
