DENVER (AP) — The inaugural USA Pro Cycling Challenge through the Rocky Mountains this month will feature the top three finishers from the Tour de France.

Andy and Frank Schleck will join Tour winner Cadel Evans, an Australian who races for America-based BMC, in the weeklong Colorado race, race officials announced.

The Luxembourg brothers are listed on the Team Leopard Trek roster that was submitted Monday, making for “a world-class field for a first-year race,” said race CEO and co-chairman Shawn Hunter.

This is the first time an American cycling race will feature the three reigning podium finishers from the Tour de France.

The Schlecks are among the best racers in the world. Andy, 26, is a three-time Tour runner-up, and Frank, 31, won last year’s Tour de Suisse.
