The Tour Of Utah journeyed to the Miller Motor Sports Park in Tooele, this evening, for a nine mile Chrono. Miller is the site of some of Utah's finest blacktop. The course is mostly flat, with just enough undulation to make it an effort. The day went to Taylor Phinney, one of the first dozen out the gate, in 16:46, two seconds faster than Levi Leipheimer, the last out as race leader.. Jeremy Vennel (Bissell Pro Cycling), Alex Dowsett (Trek/Livestrong) and Brent Bookwalter (BMC) rounded out the top five. Leipheimer held on to the yellow tour leaders jersey while the top 15 looks like this:
