The 2018 Breck Epic is past the halfway point and as usual it’s been… epic. The current pro men’s top three at this 6-day stage race in Breckenridge, Colorado, are Jeremiah Bishop (Canyon-Topeak Factory Racing), Jamey Driscoll (Pivot-Maxxis p/b Stan’s), and Kyle Trudeau (CZracing). The top women are Carla Williams (Joe’s Bike Shop), Katrina Englested (Boulder Cycle Sport), and Meghan Sheridan (Bingham Cyclery).
You can see full results for all the categories and stages of the 2018 Breck Epic here. Better yet, take a look at the 2018 Breck Epic video recaps from the first three stages plus a massive photo gallery from the race’s trio of ace photographers, Eddie Clark, Liam Doran, and Devon Balet.
