It was held August 17-22, 2010. The race was distinguished by the decision of the organizers prior to the race to submit the 2011 edition of the race for addition to the UCI America Tour, upgrading it from national status to international status. Although UCI Pro Tour team were not allowed to compete in the race, Levi Leipheimer of Team RadioShack, who had just won the Leadville Trail 100 MTB mountain-bike race in Colorado, raced as the sole member of a team sponsored by Lance Armstrong's Austin bicycle shop, Mellow Johnny's, and won the overall title. Consistent with its self-proclaimed title of "America's toughest stage race", only 71 of the original 140 starters finished the race. Stages Like 2009, the 2010 race had a prologue, three road stages, a criterium and a time trial. In addition to Leipheimer, Taylor Phinney, who was a stagiaire at RadioShack at the time, entered as part of RadioShack's U23 team Trek-Livestrong. Only one UCI Professional Continental team, BMC 2010, competed in the race, along with several UCI Continental teams, some national teams and a few entries like Mellow Johnny's. In total, 140 riders began the race. Leipheimer won alone on stage 2, came in second on stage 3 and second in a two-man finish on stage 5 to beat the previous year's winner, Francisco Mancebo, by 2:30. 19-year-old Ian Boswell from BPC 2010 came in a surprising third and was also Best Young Rider; after the race, he joined Trek-Livestrong as well.http://velonews.competitor.com/2010/08/news/who-is-ian-boswell-the-tour-of-utahs-best-young-rider-and-third-overall_136147 Who is Ian Boswell, the Tour of Utah’s best young rider and third overall?

Prologue August 17, 2010 -- Salt Lake City, 2.8 mi The prologue, a loop around the State Capitol in Salt Lake City, was identical to the previous year's prologue. This time, it was dominated by Phinney and Dowsett from Trek-Livestrong, with Brent Bookwalter, the 2009 winner of the prologue, coming in third.http://velonews.competitor.com/2010/08/news/trek-livestrong-tops-in-tour-of-utah-prologue_135484 Trek-Livestrong’s Taylor Phinney tops in Tour of Utah prologue Brian Holcombe VeloNews 2010-08-18 2011-08-21 Prologue Result RiderTeamTime 1 Taylor Phinney USA Trek-Livestrong 6' 02" 2 Alex Dowsett GBR Trek-Livestrong + 3" 3 Brent Bookwalter USA BMC 2010 + 11" 4 Rory Sutherland AUS UHC 2010 + 12" 5 Bobby Lea USA On the Rivet-Ion + 13" 6 Benjamin Jacques-Maynes USA BPC 2010 + 14" 7 Jeff Louder USA BMC 2010 + 15" 8 George Hincapie USA BMC 2010 + 16" 9 Jeremy Vennell NZL BPC 2010 s.t. 10 Levi Leipheimer USA Mellow Johnny's + 18"General Classification after Prologue RiderTeamTime 1 Taylor Phinney USA Trek-Livestrong 6' 02" 2 Alex Dowsett GBR Trek-Livestrong + 3" 3 Brent Bookwalter USA BMC 2010 + 11" 4 Rory Sutherland AUS UHC 2010 + 12" 5 Bobby Lea USA On the Rivet-Ion + 13" 6 Benjamin Jacques-Maynes USA BPC 2010 + 14" 7 Jeff Louder USA BMC 2010 + 15" 8 George Hincapie USA BMC 2010 + 16" 9 Jeremy Vennell NZL BPC 2010 s.t. 10 Levi Leipheimer USA Mellow Johnny's + 18" Stage 1 August 18, 2010 -- Ogden to Salt Lake City, 82 mi Stage 1 presented a flat, hot finish that was likely to end up in a bunch sprint.

In a repeat of the prologue, Taylor Phinney claimed the victory, this time by edging Leipheimer. Phinney, Leipheimer and third-place finisher Jeremy Vennell all surpassed Tom Zirbel's winning time from the 2009 Tour individual time trial, run on the identical course, which was 14 seconds slower than Phinney's time.http://velonews.competitor.com/2010/08/news/taylor-phinney-motors-to-tour-of-utah-time-trial-win_135865 Taylor Phinney motors to Tour of Utah time trial win Brian Holcombe VeloNews 2010-08-20 2011-08-21 Stage 3 Result RiderTeamTime 1 Taylor Phinney USA Trek-Livestrong 16' 46" 2 Levi Leipheimer USA Mellow Johnny's + 2" 3 Jeremy Vennell NZL BPC 2010 + 11" 4 Alex Dowsett GBR Trek-Livestrong + 16" 5 Brent Bookwalter USA BMC 2010 + 18" 6 Benjamin Jacques-Maynes USA BPC 2010 + 24" 7 Darren Lill RSA Fly V Australia + 35" 8 Philip Zajicek USA Fly V Australia s.t. 9 Daniel Summerhill USA Holowesko Partners + 41" 10 Francisco Mancebo ESP Canyon Bicycles + 43"General Classification after Stage 3 RiderTeamTime 1 Levi Leipheimer USA Mellow Johnny's 6h 57' 24" 2 Francisco Mancebo ESP Canyon Bicycles + 1' 37" 3 Darren Lill RSA Fly V Australia + 1' 49" 4 Philip Zajicek USA Fly V Australia + 2' 07" 5 Ian Boswell USA BPC 2010 + 2' 29" 6 Brent Bookwalter USA BMC 2010 + 2' 40" 7 Cesar Grajales COL On the Rivet-Ion + 3' 05" 8 Tim Roe AUS Trek-Livestrong + 3' 17" 9 Jonathan McCarty USA Team Rio Grande + 3' 27" 10 Rory Sutherland AUS UHC 2010 + 3' 34" Stage 4 August 21, 2010 -- Park City, 75 minutes Stage 4, the Park City Criterium, was measured by time instead of distance. The riders circled a one-mile loop with a 10% grade at 7,000 feet for 75 minutes. Because of the uncertain length, the riders tried to close any breaks down before they could become established. The high speeds and high altitude wreaked havoc on the field, as 33 riders dropped out, leaving just 86 riders remaining. Former Tour of Utah champion Jeff Louder of the BMC 2010, a Utah native who was over five minutes down in the overall standings, managed to break away without being chased down by the field for a 22-second victory.http://velonews.competitor.com/2010/08/news/bmc’s-jeff-louder-takes-criterium-win-at-tour-of-utah-levi-leipheimer-keeps-lead_135972 BMC’s Jeff Louder takes criterium win at Tour of Utah; Levi Leipheimer keeps lead Brian Holcombe VeloNews 2010-08-21 2011-08-21 Stage 4 Result RiderTeamTime 1 Jeff Louder USA BMC 2010 1h 14' 45" 2 Jai Crawford AUS Fly V Australia + 22" 3 Francisco Mancebo ESP Canyon Bicycles s.t. 4 Davide Frattini ITA TT1 2010 + 27" 5 Benjamin Jacques-Maynes USA BPC 2010 s.t. 6 Frank Pipp USA BPC 2010 s.t. 7 Brent Bookwalter USA BMC 2010 s.t. 8 Christopher Jones USA TT1 2010 s.t. 9 Levi Leipheimer USA Mellow Johnny's s.t. 10 Darrel Lill RSA Fly V Australia s.t.General Classification after Stage 4 RiderTeamTime 1 Levi Leipheimer USA Mellow Johnny's 8h 12' 36" 2 Francisco Mancebo ESP Canyon Bicycles + 1' 28" 3 Darren Lill RSA Fly V Australia + 1' 49" 4 Philip Zajicek USA Fly V Australia + 2' 07" 5 Ian Boswell USA BPC 2010 + 2' 29" 6 Brent Bookwalter USA BMC 2010 + 2' 40" 7 Cesar Grajales COL On the Rivet-Ion + 3' 05" 8 Jonathan McCarty USA Team Rio Grande + 3' 27" 9 Lachlan Morton AUS Holowesko Partners + 3' 41" 10 Tyler Wren USA JSH 2010 + 3' 45" Stage 5 August 22, 2010 -- Kimball Junction to Snowbird, 161 km The final stage of the 2010 Tour, Stage 5, began from Kimball Junction, just outside Park City, and trekked for 161 km through the mountains until ending on a mountaintop finish at the Snowbird ski resort. Leipheimer and Fly V Australia's Jai Crawford broke away from the rest of the elite riders to win the stage by a minute over defending champion Francisco Mancebo, who finished second behind Leipheimer in the general classification. By winning the stage, Crawford won the "King of the Mountains" jersey for the event. After another 15 people failed to finish this stage, the race ended with only 71 of the original 140 contestants (50.7%).http://velonews.competitor.com/2010/08/news/v-australias-jai-crawford-wins-final-tour-of-utah-stage-levi-leipheimer-seals-overall-victory_136082 V Australia’s Jai Crawford wins final Tour of Utah stage, Levi Leipheimer seals overall victory Brian Holcolmbe 2010-08-22 VeloNews 2010-08-22 https://web.archive.org/web/20100824010516/http://velonews.competitor.com/2010/08/news/v-australias-jai-crawford-wins-final-tour-of-utah-stage-levi-leipheimer-seals-overall-victory_136082 24 August 2010 live Stage 5 Result RiderTeamTime 1 Jai Crawford AUS Fly V Australia 4h 27' 10" 2 Levi Leipheimer USA Mellow Johnny's s.t. 3 Francisco Mancebo ESP Canyon Bicycles 1' 00" 4 Alex Hagman USA On the Rivet-Ion s.t. 5 Jonathan McCarty USA Team Rio Grande + 1' 03" 6 Ben King AUS Trek-Livestrong + 1' 21" 7 Lachlan Morton AUS Holowesko Partners s.t. 8 Ian Boswell USA BPC 2010 s.t. 9 Matthew Cooke USA Teamgive + 2' 18" 10 Davide Frattini ITA TT1 2010 + 2' 28"Final General Classification RiderTeamTime 1 Levi Leipheimer USA Mellow Johnny's 12h 39' 40" 2 Francisco Mancebo ESP Canyon Bicycles + 2' 30" 3 Ian Boswell USA BPC 2010 + 3' 56" 4 Jai Crawford AUS Fly V Australia + 3' 56" 5 Darren Lill RSA Fly V Australia + 4' 32" 6 Jonathan McCarty USA Team Rio Grande + 4' 36" 7 Lachlan Morton AUS Holowesko Partners + 5' 08" 8 Alex Hagman USA On the Rivet-Ion + 5' 48" 9 Cesar Grajales COL On the Rivet-Ion + 6' 56" 10 Tyler Wren USA JSH 2010 + 7' 07" Overall StageDateRouteWinnerOverall leaderPrologue Tuesday, August 17 Salt Lake City Taylor Phinney USA Taylor Phinney USA 1 Wednesday, August 18 Ogden to Salt Lake City David Tanner AUS Alex Dowsett GBR 2 Thursday, August 19 Thanksgiving Point to Mount Nebo Levi Leipheimer USA Levi Leipheimer USA 3 Friday, August 20 Miller Motorsports Park Taylor Phinney USA Levi Leipheimer USA 4 Saturday, August 21 Park City Jeff Louder USA Levi Leipheimer USA 5 Sunday, August 22 Kimball Junction (Park City) to Snowbird Jai Crawford AUS Levi Leipheimer USA References Category:Tour of Utah Tour of Utah Tour of Utah Tour of Utah Tour of Utah
