Race preview from DS Johnny Weltz
Today is the hardest stage of them all. We have to get Tyler through this with out any time loss to protect his top ten position. It’s a difficult circuit in the end with an 800-meter climb with grades of up to 21%. And they do this climb four times […]

Team Garmin-Chipotle H3O grinding it out in Denmark. Left to right: Chris Sutton, Tyler Farrar, Pat McCarty and Kilian Patour.
Today was a long and boring day at the Tour of Denmark. I’ll spare you the details of the first 150 km because not much happened. Just a 3-man breakaway that ended up taking a pee […]

Race report from DS Johnny Weltz
From the start we had Team Garmin-Chipotle H3O in the mix. Kilian Patour was in the first break of the day with seven riders. Unfortunately, a fast, organized hard chase brought them back one hour into the race. Then three smaller teams each got a rider off the front and […]

A couple of breakaways held for the top ten places while most of the riders rolled in with the peloton almost seven minutes back. There […]
