and Provo
, reducing its focus on Salt Lake City and Park City
. Although the significantly stronger UCI-ranked field figured to create a more competitive race,, a breakaway on the mountainous first stage gave four riders -- Leipheimer and Brajkovič from RadioShack and Sevilla and Sergio Henao from Gobernación -- a lead over all the other contenders of more than 2:30. Leipheimer then used second-place finishes in stages 3 and 5 to defend his championship and become the race's first repeat winner.
, individual time trial
, 2 kilometres (1.2 mi)
The uphill prologue required the riders to time trial along a road running parallel to the bobsled run at the Utah Olympic Park

, 182.9 kilometres (113.6 mi)
Stage 1 featured three loops of a 61 km course around Ogden, with each loop featuring an ascent of North Ogden Pass Road. Jesse Anthony of was the last survivor of an early breakaway and then managed to join up with a four-man breakaway that formed on the final ascent. In the end, as the four riders in the breakaway worked to gain time on the rest of the field, Anthony was able to sit on the breakaway and then attack it at the end for the stage win. However, the other four riders in the break established a huge advantage of over 2' 30" on their main rivals in the general classification. 116 riders remained in the race after this stage.

Stage 2 featured rolling hills but was largely flat and was anticipated to finish in a bunch sprint, with Elia Viviani

Stage 4 was a criterium around the state capital in Salt Lake City, using part of the course employed for the prologue in the previous two tours. The loop was around 12 km, and the riders were required to make 11 circuits of it, including a 13% climb up East Capitol Street in each circuit. Another Colombian rider, Janier Acevedo from Gobernacion de Antioquia, won the stage and returned his team to the lead in the teams classification. After this stage, 104 riders remained in the race, meaning that only a total of 16 riders had left the race, but among the riders failing to complete this stage was fifth-place Jesse Anthony, who fell ill overnight.
