Quiznos Pro Challenge

"The US Pro Cycling Challenge is the most demanding professional bike race ever held in America"

"Colorado will provide a spectacular backdrop  for a great new professional stage race that will automatically become a major competition on the international calendar,” 

George Hincapie

The world’s best cyclists from teams such as RadioShack, HTC, Garmin-Cervelo, and Liquigas will be put to the test like never before. The US Pro Cycling Challenge will be a high-altitude endurance test on terrain unmatched anywhere else in the world, with altitudes double what riders typically face. Lance Armstrong – the most famous cyclist and the most influential athlete in America – is the visionary behind the US Pro Cycling Challenge.
