Many pro-cycling fans follow favorite teams, but also follow favorite riders. Because I tend to do more of the latter, I’ve started to compile a provisional start-list for the USA Pro Cycling Challenge. This list is not sanctioned by the race organizers; it’s based on what I’ve been hearing and finding through internet research. The riders with question marks after their names I feel less sure about. I’ll try to update this as I come across more information. Feel free to leave your ideas for who we might expect to see at the race.
