Both Jordan and Dylan took the top step on the final GC podium for their respective age category at the Tour of Idaho. Jordan did it by winning the 13-14 circuit Race, TT, and Criterium. Dylan did it with consistency, finishing 2nd, 2nd, and 3rd in the 3 17-18 stages.
Jordan's margin of victory was 3min 14sec. Dylan's margin of victory was a scant 8 seconds. Deja Vu back to the 1989 Tour De France?
This morning's TT was uphill. 4.2mi, 638ft vertical, 6% ave grade. Jordan was the only rider to choose his TT bike (with his lightweight HED setup, of course). Everyone else rode their standard road bike. Jordan smoked the TT, with the 2nd fastest time overall, 1 second slower than the fastest. He had a GC lead of 2.5mins going into the crit, and got away solo half way through, and gained close to another minute. Well done Jordan.
Dylan went into the TT 8 secs out of 1st in GC. He gained 16 seconds in the TT, to move into 1st on GC, and was able to keep his lead in the criterium. They worked him over good, but he persevered. Excellent riding Dylan.
