Stage 6 : Park City to Park City, 125.9km
Dembrowski takes the Finale while Hermans reigns supreme
Hermans spent four days resisting the stiffest of challenges from his rivals to seal the overall win at the race dubbed “America’s Toughest Stage Race”. The Belgian, who took over the race lead with a solo win on Stage 2, finished with a 50″ margin over James Piccoli (Elevate – KHS Pro Cycling), with final stage winner Joe Dombrowski (EF Education First) at 1’32”.
“From the first time that I did this race in 2014, I had a good feeling with this race and I kept getting better results in the G.C.,” said Hermans, who was fourth overall in 2014 and runner-up in 2017 at the Tour of Utah. “It’s really amazing. I really enjoy it here. It’s amazing to ride for these crowds. And to be there on the podium in the yellow jersey is really, really nice.”
