The 33rd Annual Tour of the Gila kicked off Wednesday as teams fought for early leads in the five-day stage race, but it was Canadian James Piccoli (Elevate KHS Pro Cycling) who made a final push to outlast his competition.

The 25-year-old picked off two Colombian climbers in the final two kilometers of Stage 1’s brutal Mogollon ascent. He carries the leader’s jersey on his back going into Thursday’s Inner Loop Road Race – Presented by Brian & Lynn Robinson | Southwest Bone & Joint Institute.

Unofficial results currently have Piccoli in first for the stage race, followed by Oscar Miguel Sevilla Rivera (Team Medellín) and Eder Frayre Moctezuma (Team California), who surged in the final kilometer to secure his spot on the podium.

UCI Women

In one of the most competitive women’s fields to date, including Olympians and national and world champions, it was anyone’s game approaching the Mogollon climb as firepower crisscrossed the peloton.

But after a select few got away in the final kilometers, Brodie Chapman (Team TIBCO-Silicon Valley Bank) closed in on former national champion hill climber Krista Doebel-Hickok (Rally UHC Cycling) and pushed toward the line in the final 100 meters for the win.

Unofficial results currently have Chapman in first place, Edwige Pitel (Femme Équipe p/b Swisse Wellness) in second and Doebel-Hickok in third. Pitel sailed up to meet Chapman and Doebel-Hickok in the final hundred meters.
