Roberto Tejedor / Ciclo21
Con un impresionante ataque de larga distancia desde una escapada prácticamente desde el inicio, el joven Gage Hecht (Aevolo) ganó la etapa de apertura del Colorado Classic, dejando a los velocistas para luchar por los restos en Vail, Colorado. Detrás en el pelotón, Daniel Martinez de First Education Drapac intentó una aceleración pero no pudo liberarse.
Hecht, de 20 años, formó parte de un grupo de cuatro personas junto con Pascal Eenkhorn (LottoNL-Jumbo), Alex Cataford (UnitedHealthcare) y Niklas Eg (Trek-Segafredo).
La sorpresa sería un valiente ataque deHecht, que realizó una escapada individual con una ventaja de alrededor de 20 segundos, ya que el pelotón desorganizado no pudo cerrar el hueco en los últimos cinco kilómetros.
Aunque Hecht parecía inseguro de su ventaja, con un kilómetro restante la victoria sería suya. Hizo una última escalada corta para lograr en solitario su mayor victoria en su corta carrera. Travis McCabe conseguiría la segunda posición en el sprint del grupo por delante de Joe Lewis (Holowesko-Citadel), tercero.
Hecht consiguió además acaparar la totalidad de los maillots para su equipo Continental, centrado más en el desarrollo de jóvenes menores de 23 años como él. Después de la primera etapa se llevó el maillot de líder de la general, el de la clasificación de puntos, la del mejor joven y el de la montaña.
El viernes, la clasificación general debería definirse aún ya que la prueba contrarreloj, en Vail de la segunda etapa, cuenta con 480 metros (de desnivel total) sobre 15,8km.
