Tour of Utah raises the bar and elevation in bike race’s first year with new UCI Pro Series classification

Newly christened a UCI Pro Series race — just a step down from World Tour races like the Tour de France — it is the only stage race with that designation in North America and is one of only two multi-day races of that caliber in all of the Americas.

Tour organizers apparently decided its cyclists needed rare air as well. They announced Friday that the 15th running of the seven-day race, which will be held Aug. 3-9, will wrap up with four mountain stages. The stages will take them from Woodward Park City to Snowbird on Day 4 and into a circuit race in downtown Ogden on Day 5 before finishing with two stages in Park City.
