A cyclist is recovering after a high-speed crash at the Tour of Utah.
The Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah is one of only five UCI-sanctioned, multi-stage, North American pro cycling events in 2015. Showcasing some of the world’s most prestigious teams and cyclists for seven days in August, this event now attracts worldwide attention as the top international cycling event that follows the Tour de France. Nearly a decade since its opening circuit, the Tour of Utah, today, stands shoulder to shoulder with the most prestigious professional bicycle stage race events as our answer to the greatest cycling challenges the world has to offer. Bicycle racing offers its fans more opportunity to get close to the action than does any other professional sport. Accessibility to athletes, along with a “free admission” model, puts riders and spectators eyeball to eyeball before, during and after the event. Recognizing this unique opportunity, the Larry H. Miller Group of Companies has committed itself, for nearly a decade, to underwriting the Tour of Utah with significant financial and human resources. Thanks to a conservative, professional approach steeped in decades of major league sports management experience, combined with relationships throughout the sporting world, the Miller organization has supported the growth of an unparalleled athletic spectacle that showcases the best of Utah’s diverse natural beauty, and the very best side of its people and culture. Without a doubt, the Tour of Utah has achieved world-class status. Our event not only represents a forum for showcasing athletic perfection, but communicates a broader message: how individual attention to personal health and physical activity at every age will lead to a stronger, healthier society.
