La subida final a Snowbird volvió a demostrar la facilidad escaladora de Sepp Kuss (Lotto Jumbo), quien arrancaba a más de siete kilómetros de la llegada, remontaba a los pocos escapados que aún quedaban por delante y se imponía en la quinta etapa del Tour de Utah, con lo que queda bastante clara la general a falta de una etapa.
En la meta se presentaba con 39″ sobre Ben Hermans (Israel Academy) y 1:18 sobre Peter Stetina (Trek Segafredo), con Rob Britton (Rally Cycling) y Jack Haig (Mitchelton-Scott) a 1:27, con Tejay Van Garderen (BMC) cediendo más de cinco minutos. Hermans es ahora segundo de la general, pero ya a 1:21.
En la primera subida de la etapa -de 152,6 kms-, el paso de Guardmans, un primera situado en el km. 110, la escapada inicial de trece ciclistas -entre ellos Rubén Plaza (Israel Academy)- se presentaba con cuatro minutos, aunque la renta disminuía a dos en la cima y la composición de la escapada, también, concretamente a un sexteto con Daniel Jaramillo y Johnny Clark (United Healthcare), Kiliam Frankiny (BMC), Niklas Eg (Trek Segafredo), Evan Huff (Rally Cycling) y Ivan Santaromita (Nippo-Vini Fantini), aunque en el descenso volvían a contactar Cameron Meyer (Mitchelton-Scott), Kiel Reijnen (Trek Segafredo) y Plaza. Eso sí, en el pelotón, ninguna novedad en relación a los líderes.
Tras el largo descenso, los fugados se presentaban en la base de la segunda subida con poco menos de minuto y medio, se rompía en mil pedazos, lo mismo que el pelotón, que iba adelantando a los descolgados hasta ese momento del definitivo ataque de Kuss, respondiendo con aquello de que ‘la mejor defensa es un buen ataque’ ante el ritmo que ponía el Education First, que quedaba totalmente desarbolado.
Park City acogerá la despedida de esta carrera con una etapa corta, de 123 kilómetros, pero con dos KOM, como dicen por allí, el primero en el km. 56 y el segundo en el km. 117, a 2.700 metros de altitud y desde ahí un largo descenso hasta meta.
