Katie Hall continued her extraordinary run of success on the 2018 US Calendar Friday at the Colorado Classic Women's Race, taking out the Vail Pass time trial by 27 seconds over teammate Leah Thomas and by 49 seconds over Rally Cycling's Gillian Ellsay. The 31-year-old UnitedHealthcare leader is now in charge of the GC by 26 seconds over Thomas and by 1:22 over Rally's Abby Mickey with just two flat stages remaining. Friday's success continues a string of wins for Hall on the US circuit, starting with the Joe Martin Stage Race and the Tour of the Gila in April, the Redlands Bicycle Classic in May and the WorldTour Women's Tour of California later that same month. It's been a dominant performance that has been years in the making.ADVERTISEMENT "I've been part of UnitedHealthcare for five years now, and I've really found the environment to be really supportive and to have helped in my development," Hall said after her performance on Vail Pass. "In some years past I've raced for some of my teammates. We always get all of us behind one teammate, and often that teammate graduates out," Hall said. "Last year I raced a lot for Ruth [Winder], and this year I sort of got my own opportunities, and I felt ready for them because I've been a part of this team so long and seen how riders win races."
