Brent Bookwalter (BMC Racing) is hoping that his Tour de France form continues into the upcoming Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah held from August 9-14 around Salt Lake City. However, the focus will not be on him for the high-altitude, six-day event, but on his teammate and former overall winner Jeff Louder.
