Craddock revels in freedom at Tour of Utah
(Cyclingnews.com)
 


Lawson Craddock (EF Education First) and his WorldTour cohorts racing at the Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah this week are used to the long slog of a season away from home and getting beat up in the WorldTour races where they usually ride in support of their teammates` ambitions. This week in Utah, they have a chance to take centre stage and make the race happen rather than reacting to moves from other teams and riders. Craddock took advantage of the freedom on Tuesday during stage 1, launching a late move inside the final 5km and finishing second with enough time to jump into the race lead. `Today was more of a stage for Alex [Howes] and I,` the 27-year-old American said at the post-stage press conference. `Alex came up once the circuits started and said, `I`m not feeling fantastic, so if you have the legs try something.` Then he sacrificed himself for me on the last lap.ADVERTISEMENT `We were just racing our bikes, and that`s what we`re all here to do,` Craddock said. `A lot of us, we go to Europe, and you`re racing against world champions and all this stuff - the world`s best. Although there`s a very strong field here, it`s nice to come back to America and do the animating for once.` Craddock said he and his EF Education First teammates were in Utah to rediscover the `joy` of cycling. `That was kind of a point we had coming into this race, where we wanted to really just race our bikes and find the enjoyment back in that because it`s just so tough in Europe for a lot of the year,` he said. `Today was a big step for that, and we`re looking forward to the rest of the race.` You can read more at Cyclingnews.com
