US Pro Challenge Stage 3: Two Out of Three Ain't Bad

Peter Sagan came to Colorado two weeks ahead of the race in order to acclimate to the altitude, apparently he also came to win stages at the US Pro Challenge.  He just held off Mezgec of Argos-Shimano to claim his second stage win out of three stages raced.  Not bad for the young Slovakian.  You can see Anderson of Team Optum looking over, I'm guessing pleased to be within a bike length of the sprinting legend.  And the legend is only 23 years old.  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard that can be yours in a short three day auction on ebay.  Just follow the direct link at the end of this post to get your piece of the US Pro Challenge.

US Pro Challenge Stage 3: Ever Aggressive

The old man of the peloton, Jens Voigt is one of the most aggressive riders regularly going in breaks and attacking the stage, mountains, whatever is on the day's menu.  Stage three of the US Pro Challenge was no exception where he first got away with Josh Edmondson (Team Sky), Serghei Tvetcov (Jelly Belly) and Davide Villella (Cannondale).  Once Villella stop pulling his weight in the break, his teammate Peter Sagan was looking for another stage win, Voigt left the break on Rabbit Ears Pass hoping for a solo victory in Steamboat.  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard that is available through a short three day auction on ebay.  Just follow the direct link at the end of this post to get your piece of the US Pro Challenge.
