Lachlan Morton (Jelly Belly-Maxxis) took one step closer toward winning the Tour of the Gila on Thursday, coming fourth in the sprint on the second stage to Fort Bayard and holding on to his lead over Rally's Rob Britton, the defending champion. Wearing the red leader's jersey after taking a commanding victory on the summit finish at Mogollon, Morton admitted that getting results does make him consider a return to the WorldTour, but right now he's not thinking that far ahead.
