The Tour of the Battenkill, America's toughest one-day race, has set its roster in stone for this coming Sunday's UCI 1.2 Professional Invitational. New York will play host to some of the sport's top teams, with Team Type 1-Sanofil and United Healthcare Pro Cycling headlining the bill amongst a strong field of contenders.
The event has also attracted the British IG - Sigma Sport and Team Raleigh-GAC squads from across the pond, and brought in Canadian teams Garneau/Quebecor, Jet Fuel, Team Medique p/b Silber Investments, Équipe cycliste EKOÏ.com/Gaspésien, OCTTO presented by Cervélo and Ride with Rendall teams.
The Tour of the Battenkill's Pro Invitational takes part over 124 miles of rolling terrain that includes its trademark dirt roads which leave a suffering peloton no time to admire the covered bridges, family farms and rural villages along its route. The event starts and finishes in the scenic village of Cambridge, New York.
