Dragoo Takes Stage One of Tour Of Utah Women’s Event

In a very wet day of racing, Allie Dragoo (Twenty16 p/b SHO-AIR) took a dominating win in Logan, Utah on the opening day of the Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah Women’s Event. The recent Utah resident escaped from the field early on and held off the field the entire race.

As the men were out n the course, the women took to the finishing course for a 75 minute criterium. The men will finish up their race with two laps around the two mile circuit.

The women left the start finish under rainy conditions in downtown Logan. The race quickly blew apart with Tibco-SVB, Colavita|Bianchi, and BMW p/b The Happy Tooth. At the first sprint, Hannah Barnes (UnitedHealthcare) took the first points available ahead of Beth Ann Orton (Visit Dallas) and Sofia Arreola (Twenty16 p/b SHO-AIR).

Dragoo attacked the field, and was able to open up a gap. As she pulled away, another group of six left the main field behind. Amanda Miller and Olivia Dillon (Visit Dallas), Linda Villumsen (United Healthcare), Gretchen Stumhofer (Colavita|Bianchi), Justine Clift (Fearless Femme p/b Haute Wheels) and Allison Arensman (Twenty16 p/b SHO-AIR), worked to bring Dragoo back, but the leader continued to extender her lead.

At the second intermediate points sprint of the day, Dragoo held a 31 second lead ahead of Miller and Dillon, who took the remaining points on offer.

Dragoo continued to increase her lead, and with three laps to go, only a crash or a mechanical would see the Twenty16 rider caught. She took the corners gingerly, yet keeping plenty of speed through them on her way to the finish line. With no other riders in site, Dragoo sat up and raised both arms in victory.

 

It was another 20 seconds or so until the chase group rounded the last corner to head to the finish. First through was Stumhofer of Colavita|Bianchi who lead the entire straightaway to the line. She crossed 49 seconds behind the winner, and Villumsen took third, another 4 seconds back. Arensman, Dillon, and Clift were the next across with Villumsen, and Miller trailed behind. UnitedHealthcare’s Coryn Rivera took the field sprint ahead of Sam Schneider (ISCorp Cycling p/b Smart Choice).

Since the women’s event is a two day omnium, riders will earn points from the intermediate sprints and finish. On Stage 1, that means points were available twice during the day, and also at the finish.
