Utah, stage 4: Murphy sprints to Holowesko’s second win

John Murphy sprinted to the second win of the week for the Holowesko-Citadel team in stage 4 at the Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah. José Rodriguez (Elevate-KHS) was second, and Mihkel Raim (Israel Cycling Academy) finished third in South Jordan.

Although it was a long race Thursday at 199 kilometers, the route was flat, so overall standings did not change. Rally’s Rob Britton kept the yellow jersey. Gavin Mannion (UnitedHealthcare) stayed in second, ahead of Serghei Tvetcov (Jelly Belly) in third.

Two final breakaway riders, Lorenzo Rota (Bardiani-CSF) and Gonzalo Serrano (Caja Rural), were caught as the finish circuits began.

UnitedHealthcare started the lead-out early on the long, straight final kilometer. It appeared that UHC dropped off Travis McCabe too soon. He paused for a moment, and Axeon Hagens Berman made its move on the right, setting up Chris Lawless.

However, Lawless also went too soon. McCabe accelerated again but his jump served as a springboard for Murphy who squeezed between McCabe and Lawless.

The 32-year-old former U.S. criterium national champion timed his sprint perfectly. Rodriguez followed but couldn’t come past. Raim finished third to make it a clean podium sweep for Continental teams in stage 4 at Tour of Utah.

Friday’s 185.4km stage 5 finishes with a downhill to Bountiful, but the peloton will face two categorized climbs of Bountiful Bench in the final 35km of racing.
