Michael Woods (Optum) dug deep in an attempt to defend his overall lead in the Tour of Utah on the queen stage. However, he was unable to keep up with Joe Dombrowski and now sits in second, 50 seconds behind his American rival.

“Two podiums in two days is pretty crazy considering I hadn't podium'ed at this level of a race yet, so definitely really special. For the team, we've had three podiums in three days so that's pretty cool. It was a good day,” commented Woods about the success of his Optum presented by Kelly Benefit Strategies team at the Tour of Utah."

"He was incredible," he said of Dombrowski. "It was an incredible ride, and he deserved every second he gained on us. That was impressive. I didn't have great legs today, and I tried to stick with him but I just blew."
