Donald Utah yellow Report 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.*

Great ride! Can’t wait to watch stages 3-5 in person (yeah, I know, I should skip work….). Good luck on the climbs tomorrow!

Yeah, Jason!

Armstrong wins gold, Jason wins the stage, and I even got a ride in — I’m on a cycling high today!

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.
