Scott lost some time in the TT, placing 12th, but his fellow riders moved up some places. Sean Passage moved up in the GC with a 6th place in the TT. Saturday’s road race was “a long hot grind.”

Here’s a recap from Scott, who placed 2nd in the race:

Well, I didn’t make up all of the time I lost on the TT (about 2 minutes!)
but I did get back 42 seconds today, coming in 2nd. I attacked out of the
lead group (about 20 riders at that point) with 10K to do, and was able to
get about 1 minute before the final grind up to Meadows. I lost a bit on
that really steep section, but managed to hold onto the 42 seconds over what
was left of the front group.. One guy was off the front all day and
finished almost 4 minutes up on us (an amazing ride, but he barely made it.
He said that he zig-zagged up the final climb.) I passed the other rider
off the front, who had attacked at 15K to go, with about 500m left. Ryan
had a good race and looked strong all day, getting dropped only with 5K to
go when the pace heated up, and probably finished about 22nd or so. Sean
unfortunately had a bad day on and lost minutes.

I moved up to 4th today (that TT really cost me) and Ryan also moved up,
probably into the top 25. Not pre-riding the TT course cost us a good 30
seconds, as it was hard to pace ourselves without knowing where and how the
climbs and descents were to be ridden. That was a super-technical,
undulating TT, and a great course. Sean killed it out there though, but I
think most of us rode very conservatively, not knowing the course as well as
being very apprehensive about the distance.

Good luck in the crit!
