Rohan Dennis Takes Stage 4, Pro Challenge

Rohan Dennis with the BMC team took the stage 4 win during the Pro Challenge, completing one of the most difficult and the longest section of the challenge.  The route required intrepid riders to navigate the sheer steeps of Independence Pass with an exciting finish in front of thousands in the old minding town of Breckenridge, Colorado.

We ran into  Iohan Gueorguiev, while filming the Pro Challenge riders.  Iohan is on a different kind of bike ride, a personal tour from Northern Canada to Mexico.  Iohan hopes to eventually travel all the way to Argentina in his around the world trek.

Iohan is one of the few people selected as a Blackburn Designs "ranger".  Rangers test Blackburn Designs products as well as products the company supports or sponsors.  Riders tackle the Great Divide Route or the Pacific Coast Trail.

The last time Rohan rode the Pro Challenge he came in 77th.  According to Cycling News, Dennis has substantially improved his game and his high altitude stamina.

The Colorado Pro-Challenge was started with the blessings of Richard E. Schaden, founder of the restaurant, Quiznos.  On February 4th, 2011, Schaden funded the program with a $10,000,000 grant.
