USA Pro Challenge aka Tour of Colorado
I'm heading out to watch the 1st stage of the USAPC in Snowmass/Aspen. Tidbits from riders: Sky (Porte/Froome) are riding for Dombrowski & Pate ... They're here cause they now have a US sponsor, 21st Century Fox (Sky TV in UK & Fox are both owned by Murdoch); Tejay is looking for "July Revenge" & Garmin brought a powerhouse team for Vande Velde's swan song. Oh, and Sagan has been training here for two weeks!
Stage one goes through my town. I'll be @ the first KOM (three times thru on this circuit race), then head into Aspen to watch the final corner of the finish. I'll need to ride 6 miles downhill, while they go about 13 mi with several climbs. Hope I make it!
Peter Sagan is my guy for the win today, if he wants it. There's 7500' of climbing in 61 miles with three chunks of 300-700', one small spot of 14%, the rest @ 5-7%.
