The remaining riders in the Tour of Utah faced the 'Queen' - or most testing - stage of this year's race. The 154.8-kilometre fifth and penultimate stage set off from Canyons Village and covered two major climbs, including the out of category ascent to the finishing line at Snowbird Resort. Sepp Kuss made a solo attack on the closing climb to win stage five of the Tour of Utah and move to within touching distance of an overall victory.
