Jonathan Vaughters primed to defend Saturn Cycling Classic title
Defending Saturn Cycling Classic champion Jonathan Vaughters has the chance to repeat the feat this Saturday, August 10, when more than 150 riders compete in the rugged 140 mile cycling endurance test from Boulder to the Rocky Mountain resort town of Breckenridge.
Vaughters, who will again be riding for The Handle Bar & Grill, will be racing against the likes of 2000 winner Scott Moninger (Mercury), National U23 Road Race Champion Will Frischkorn and Trent Klasna (Saturn), Kevin Livingston (George's/Lost River Cycling), John Lieswyn (7UP/Jittery Joe's), Danny Pate (Prime Alliance), and Polish climber Dariusz Wojciechowski (Sierra Nevada). Last year's runner up Chris Horner will not be competing due to a collarbone breakage.
"With Jonathan returning along with Will (Frischkorn) and Scott (Moninger), we should have another excellent race with several interesting duels over Guanella and Hoosier Passes," said Len Pettyjohn, race director. "Last year, Vaughters used his experience to catch the leaders on Guanella Pass and battled Horner all the way into Breckenridge. We expect the same level of competition this year."
Three-time Tour de France winner Greg LeMond will be the official starter for the Saturn Cycling Classic. LeMond, the first American to win the Tour de France and the World Cycling Championships, will lead the peloton from the starting line in Boulder at 9:20 am to the finish line in Breckenridge, Colorado at approximately 4:00 pm.
The Saturn Cycling Classic from Boulder to Breckenridge will negotiate seven mountain passes, reaching altitudes over 11,500 feet. Racing starts at 9:20am local time (11:20 EDT/17:20 CEST (Europe)/01:20 EST (Australia East)), and will be covered live on Cyclingnews.com from start to finish.
