When the stage 3 Vail time trial prematurely ended the race for overall victory at the inaugural USA Pro Cycling Challenge in August, it was obvious that the organizers would love to see a more dramatic outcome in 2012. And that looks certain to happen on the likely course that was leaked to two Denver news outlets Thursday evening (and later confirmed by the promoter).
Instead of a prologue and a mid-race TT, the second edition of the Colorado stage race, now upgraded to UCI 2.HC status on the America Tour, has just one time trial, and that will be on the final day in Denver. Even after six road stages that crisscross the Rockies — perhaps with a mountaintop finish on the penultimate stage in Boulder — the race won’t be decided until the Denver time trial.
