Taylor Phinney to Ride Pro Cycling Challenge 2012

Team invitations are still being finalized, but Taylor Phinney has announced he plans to ride the 2012 Pro Cycling Challenge.  He missed the inaugural race last year because he was racing the Vuelta de Espana.  This year his grand tour will be the Giro d’Italia so he’ll be able to ride at home in Colorado.  This year is his first year of just road racing and being off the track.  He’s said he feels a lot more comfortable riding in the peloton after gaining experience last. year.
