Solve Client Optum Pro Cycling’s Mike Woods Second In Tour Of Utah

Following seven days in one of North America’s premier and most challenging races, Solve client Optum Pro Cycling finished with one of its finest performances in the team’s nine-year history. A victory for sprinter Eric Young in stage four, a victory and yellow jersey for Mike Woods in stage five, second place for Woods in stage six and second overall on general classification, all add up to an unprecedented week for Optum’s continental-ranked program.

“It was a phenomenal week for the team,” said Performance Director Jonas Carney. “We started out slow–we thought Young could win one of the first few sprint stages, but we struggled through them and we were a little down after three days. Then, the guys just cranked it up. It’s by far the best we’ve ever done at a race of this level and we are ecstatic.”
