Phinney to make comeback to cycling at Tour of Utah (The Associated Press)
Taylor Phinney had to endure such a long rehab from a devastating injury that the Olympic cyclist picked up painting and learned to fly a plane, just to help pass the time. The former world pursuit champion and two-time national time trial champion will make his return to racing at the Tour of Utah, a seven-day stage race beginning in Logan. It will be his first race since May 2014, when Phinney collided with a motorcycle during a downhill section of the national championships course and went careening into a guardrail.
