Tour of Utah - Stage 4

Mitch gave us VIP tickets to Stage 4 which finished in downtown SLC. I've never passed up a chance to be a VIP, so Grandpa Joe and Grandma Pat watched the kiddos and TB and I made a break for it. 
The peloton caught the breakaway within 1 km of the finish line which was really exciting and caused a lot of yelling from the announcers, although it was difficult/impossible to see from the finish line where we were.  Here are the top three on the stage...

Tyler Farrar wins third place. Those scrapes on his knees are from the TOUR DE FRANCE people.

Here are the jerseys after Stage 4.

Here's a video of the finish. http://youtu.be/y2Vl-hPmjSg

This is all of the race that we saw. Luckily, VIP tickets get you good food and a TV screen on which to watch the action leading up to the finish line. I think I'd be disappointed if I went all the way to France and only saw three seconds like this. What am I saying? I'd be over the moon if I went to France and saw three seconds like this.

Also, I was wrong in my Stage 2 post when I said Tyler Farrar put on the yellow jersey after posing half-naked with me =). Christian Vande Velde actually got the yellow jersey that day, and he wears it still!

Check out my close encounter with Christian!
