There are a lot of cool stories going on in this year's USAPC.

The BYR jersey competition between the two Caja Rural guys and Tao Geoghan Hart.
Jelly Belly holding on to 2nd place in the Team GC. Unheard of.
The local kid from Breck riding as a stagiare and setting a new best time in the TT for a spell.
The Axeon team (none of whom are older than 22) having great results.
The 40mph speeds on the flats and 12mph on the dirt.
The reception of the Cycling Academy team.
Peter Stetina riding his bike seemingly fine, yet he needs to walk with a cane to and from his hotel room.
Kyle Murphy getting picked up from tiny Lupus Racing and moving to Caja Rural and getting in the breakaway.
Still drawing good crowds in little towns like Leadville is a sign that people are still behind the race. The crowd in Breck was incredible. And a remote location like Independence Pass had a good crowd, on a Thursday no less.

Granted, it's not a stacked field. Many of the teams brought their stagiares in order to give them experience. But even that has been exciting to watch.
