Alex Howes rides the early break with Ben Jacques-Maynes and Jeremy Vennell of Team Bissell.
Howes attacked solo from the break and won the Queen Stage of this year's Tour of Utah.
I so totally surfed myself into a stupor today. Really, I could write a stage story for the Tour of Utah, but it would hardly make much sense. Instead, I will direct you to the far more intelligible Podium Insight, where you will find a thorough race report and a pair of vastly entertaining interviews with stage winner and U.S. U23 National Champion Alex Howes. So look at the photos here. Then, go there and read the stories. Or, vice-versa. Whatever works best for you. Choose your own adventure.
