Race 1 - June 4: Tom Bamford Lancaster Classic, 91 miles

Philly week is truly now a week with the move of Lancaster to the Sunday before. The course is the same as in previous editions, which means it will be fast from the start. A small winding and narrow climb through Central Park on the back of the course does not look like much, but will slowly affect the riders after they climb it thirteen times over ninety-one miles. This is also the best viewing spot for spectators as it serves as the feed zone and KOM. While a large break did stay away last year, it was made up of mostly sprinters with Health Net-Maxxis' Greg Henderson finishing first.
