BOULDER, Colo. (VN) — After the debacle that was the Pegasus fallout late last year, one that saw nearly a number of riders and staff lose their jobs and their ProTour dreams, one wouldn’t blame owner/director Chris White if he just wanted to bury his head in the sand and hang it up. But that’s just not who Chris White is.

TD Bank Philadelphia International Cycling Championship 2011 Preliminary Startlist

Liberty Classic 2011 Preliminary Startlist

The old American classic in Philadelphia is back this weekend for the 27th year (18th for women).

HOOD RIVER, Oregon (VN) — Kristin Armstrong fired the opening salvo in the showdown with fellow Olympian Clara Hughes Thursday at the prologue time trial of the 2011 Mt. Hood Cycling Classic.

PHILADELPHIA (VN) —It may not be the national championship anymore, but Sunday’s TD Bank Philadelphia International Championship is still America’s biggest — and most prestigious — single-day race. And at 27 years old this year, it is now older than many of the men favored to add its title to their palmares. With a field lacking past winners and a number of young riders showing promising results in recent weeks, Philadelphia could be ripe for a youth movement in the men’s race.
