Robin Carpenter of Holewesko took over the lead of the Larry H Miller Tour Of Utah with a victory on the second stage.
This was a 159km stage from Escalante to Torrey and saw a group of eight riders in Alex Howes, Chris Jones, Joe Rosskopf, Ruben Companioni, Ben Perry, Greg Daniel, Travis McCabe and Julian Bernard get away.
However, they were caught and Matteo Del Cin took the first climb of the day at Hogsback and took over as the leader in the KOM competition after being part of a new break.
This break led to a twenty rider which was slimmed down to Del Cin, Jo Rosskopf, Campioni, Daneil Jaramillo, Robin Carpenter, Eddie Dunbar and Ewen Huffman .
Robin Carpenter took the sprint, the three seconds and five points at Boulder but the peloton were not happy with who was in the break and pulled them in as the riders started on Boulder Mountain which tops at 9,600 feet.
Cubian Ruben Companioni of Team Jamis and Robin Carpenter were the next to go clear and were 1.12 ahead, with twelve kilometres of climbing up to Bolder Mountain to go, whilst down the road, Hayden McCormick of British team ONE Pro Cycling crashed but was able to get back on his bike.
The gap went out to 3.15 and then four minutes as they rode through the Dixie National Forest before getting 5.50 ahead with five kilometres of this climb with gradients of 10% left and 6.50 as Carpenter took the eight points on the category two climb with Daniel Jaramillo third and Matteo Del Cin in fourth which kept him in the KOM jersey.
On the descent to Torrey where the stage was finishing with two seventeen mile or 24km circuits and there was a group which was fifteen minutes behind the peloton and in danger of missing the time cut.
The front two were 6.50 ahead with 65kms to go before Carpenter took the points and three bonus seconds at the sprint at Torrey ahead of Companioni and race leader Kris Dahl.
Ruben Companioni and Robin Carpenter continued to lead with a lead of 5.45 with 42kms left.
Carpenter was first to take the bell for the start of the final lap which they went in to with a lead of five minutes, which was down to 4.37 by the time the main peloton came over to start their last lap.
With eight kilometres to go, Ruben Companioni and Robin Carpenter were still 3.30 ahead, despite Companioni struggling.
Five kilometres later and the duo still had a lead of 3.10 and with seven hundred metres left, Carpenter put the hammer down and got past Companioni to take the win and the lead of the race.
Carpenter's Holowesko team mate Travis McCabe took third place.
