Utah stage 1: Jason Donald wins, takes GC and KOM leads!

Donald Utah yellowReport from DS Chann McRae

Just 20 km in to today’s stage, Jason Donald joined a break that stuck all the way to the finish. He was the strongest in the group and kept the pace high. Jason attacked with 400 meters to go and distanced himself enough to easily take the stage win and the race lead. He also leads the KOM overall classification.

Above is a quick shot Chann McRae took of Jason Donald celebrating his first yellow jersey.

*Due to a significant time zone difference, detailed results and finish photos will be posted tomorrow.*

    Nice to see a Garmin-Chipotle rider in the top spot. The strength and depth of this team is amazing. They haven’t skipped a beat since the TDF.
