Tour Tracker is set once to provide live online and mobile coverage of this year’s Tour of Utah, which kicks off on the 5th of August. Now in it’s ninth year, the Tour of Utah offers stellar vistas and plenty of bare knuckle stage racing thorough some of the most epic terrain in U.S. Cycling.

For 2013 a total of seven new cities will be seen within the scope of this year’s race. This year’s event will begin in the shadow of the world renowned Bryce Canyon National Park, tackle the massive climbs in and around three Utah ski resorts, before finishing up in Park City, Utah on August 11th.

Winner of five…count ‘em five Amgen Tour of California stages in 2012, Peter Sagan (Cannondale) is returning to try and inflict more damage on the pro peloton when this year’s event kicks off on May 12th.

Sagan not only scored the biggest win of his career this season by winning the Flandrian classic of Gent-Wevelgem, he also picked up multiple wins at Tirreno-Adriatico, the Tour of Oman, the Three Days of De Panne. Combine those victories with second place finishes at both Milan-San Remo and the Tour of Flanders, and it’s very likely that the young Slovakian rider will be taking home more trophies from the left coast following his trip to California.

For the first time in it’s history this year’s Amgen Tour of California will travel from South to North – beginning in the city of Escondido and wrapping up in Santa Rosa eight stages later. 2013 sees the addition of two new cities, Greater Palm Springs and Murrieta. Along with Sagan’s Cannondale squad 15 more teams from the professional, professional continental, and continental fields will be tackling the nearly 750-mile course.

Tour Tracker’s Allan Padget was featured recently on SportsPro.com talking about the benefits of Tour Tracker to event organizers, broadcasters, and rights holders….

“The product of six years and more than 50,000 hours of development and testing by a team of expert engineers, Tour Tracker has become professional cycling’s premier online and mobile race coverage platform.

The USA Pro Cycling Challenge, which begins in Durango, Colorado this Monday, is likely the toughest bike race in the world. Every stage but the last surpasses – often multiple times – the elevation of Col de la Bonnette, the highest point of the Tour de France; the thin air is unforgiving; and the total gain (42,000 feet) is equivalent to the maximum altitude of a Boeing 747. It’s also the most watchable road race on the planet, passing through such party towns as Telluride, Aspen, and Denver and, in between, through the most picturesque roads in the Rockies. If you’re not close enough to stop by from August 22 to 26, then make sure to put it on your calendar for 2013. Then, download the Pro Tour Tracker iPad app to watch it this year.

The aptly named Mobile Sports Report website takes the latest Tour Tracker apps for a spin and declares them “the premier online and mobile race coverage platform.”

The USA Pro Challenge debuted in Colorado in 2011 as a new stage race but with a long history in some respects dating to the iconic Coors Classic which ended in 1988. The high degree of the new event’s success even surprised race organizers.<br/>Strong online and mobile event coverage helped in 2011, and it will return for the race’s second edition, Aug. 20-26, beginning in Durango, Colo., via the RadioShack Tour Tracker.
