Leading the way as rider of the day was Marshall Miller with 8/8 PRs. Jason Saltzman took the top spot on the men’s GC and Jen Tavé took the top spot for the women’s GC a QOM on Via Ventana and two other top tens to add

Egan 2026.04 Announcement:
Foothill got me in the mood for another Egan classic, this time in the form of Mora Trail of Tribulation, but it felt like we didn’t have enough properly steep stuff last week so I added some extra tribulation on the way there. We will see 4 segments that average over 10% grade and many of the ones that seem friendlier on paper are actually flat starts or long finishes with the bulk of the climbing done in our Egan comfort zone around 15%.
