USA Pro Cycling Challenge 2013
A nice 'call to arms' email from GKam there. Have to say, I needed no persuading. This one is one of my favourites of the whole season.

Cycling infrastructure does not force drivers to break the law, drivers are the reason they break the law, no one else.

Well I got a std team in but missed the purist by about 10 seconds ....gutted especially after missing the eneco tour first stage so no purist there and missed out on first stage points
Team picked - I'm away this weekend with no internet connection so won't be able to do well, just need to cut my losses and hope the purists do OK...
Who's going to be leading Garmin? I think probably any of their riders could turn out to be a decent purist pick!
Good to see Eurosport are showing live coverage at 9:00pm
cheers Gkam, sorted. dont think i'll choose him myself
This is the OFFICIAL startlist and I will be using it
http://www.usaprocyclingchallenge.com/sites/default/files/downloads/page...
ive just put him in my team anyways. hope he's riding. apparently he is
Just home from a weekend away at a family wedding, i'll go double check everything now for anything.
surely this is getting too late to update? For those that have to work, they can't keep logging in all afternoon in the hope of being able to add Atapuma to their team. Add him to the listing of players for Stage 2 and then everyone is on a level playing field. Assuming he is racing that is?
wont help for purist teams
Don't forget large time difference(10 hrs-ish)so info won't be made defo till this afternoon
Gone TJ purist. home turf.Gotta gamble with all the bargins
Won't be touching Teej with a barge pole. Every time he says he's going to do something he totally fails.
Team picked. For now.
At the moment, I am still working from the provisional list on the official site, But I believe Atapuma will be there
COLOMBIA (COL) @Col_Coldeportes
Edwin Alcibiades Avila Vanegas (COL)
Julio Alexis Camacho Bernal (COL)
Robinson Eduardo Chalapud Gomez (COL)
Marco Corti (ITA)
Fabio Andres Duarte Arevalo (COL)
Jarlinson Pantano (COL)
Michael Rodriguez Galindo (COL)
if he is, when will it be updated?
It still hasn't been updated.
Having enjoyed last year race I'm looking forward to this also - think will be able to watch live on the web as last year also. One question as to rosters most website are showing Darwin Atapuma as racing, but he's not currently in the fantasy start list.
Yeah, good stuff Gkam, I liked the email too. Looking forward to this one, shame I'm away next weekend so won't be able to watch the climax - you're right it was excellent last year.
I thought I'd hit the jungle drums and maybe some of the tribe would come out of the woods and join in the forum. Trying to keep it looking slightly busy in the run up to La Vuelta when everyone comes piling back
Agreed, it was a great watch last year!
