Mixed feelings for Schleck

Frank Schleck (Trek Factory Racing) felt he could have played it better on stage 6 of the Tour of Utah after taking fourth place at the Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort. The 35-year-old was the last rider able to hold onto stage winner Joe Dombrowski (Cannondale-Garmin) on the final climb but he chose not to react to the American’s move and set his own pace. 

Schleck’s performance would move him into third overall with just one stage remaining. “It was a very hard day, more than five hours on the saddle; a very tough day so finishing fourth is good,” Schleck said. “I do have very mixed feelings about it because tactic-wise I didn’t play the right card. However, clearly Joe Dombrowski was the strongest.

“I think I should have been second, though, and I didn’t play the right card and that’s it. But, that said, I am quite happy with it.”
