A couple of photographs of the action:
The breakaway!
The peloton in hot pursuit!
Stage 4 of the 2013 Tour of Utah was raced at a hot tempo, Paco Mancebo attempted to escape, but the peloton paced by Garmin Sharp, sensing the danger, would not let him go. The tempo of the stage was incredibly fast. On the last lap, the gap was about fifteen seconds and it was a dead certainty that the peloton would catch the breakaway riders. Glancing at the final stage results this outcome appears to have happened, not only that but the peloton seems to have unraveled a bit. The stage was won by Michael Matthews (Orica-Green Edge) who seems to have attacked at an opportune moment with a surprise move that caught his rivals unprepared.
The crowds were very good, people were smiling and cheering on the riders all along the route.
