Keough wins 4th stage of Tour of Utah

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -Jake Keough broke free during a late sprint to win the fourth stage of the Tour of Utah on Friday, while fellow American Christian Vandevelde retained the overall lead.

Keough finished the 134.3-mile stage in 4 hours, 47 minutes, 6 seconds. Italy's Marco Benfatto was second, and U.S. rider Tyler Farrar finished third.

Vandevelde had a 3-second lead over Thomas Danielson. David Zabriskie was third, also 3 seconds behind.

A group of six riders broke from the peloton just seven miles into stage. The group featured Yann Huguet, Craig Lewis, Jasper Stuyven, Peter Velits, Jeremy Vennell and Thomas Leezer. They led by as much as 10 minutes before the peloton finally gave chase over the final few miles.
