Sea Otter... It seems that this year is going to be a pretty amazing field for a US Race. Trek, Specialized, and Cannondale are all bringing their World Cup teams. This means half the top 10 riders in the world will be in Monterrey (in red) plus a bunch more that are in the top 20. Sea Otter had the largest field of any race I went to last year, so it should be really tough this year. A pretty cool oppurtunity though. For reference, the top American is somewhere in the twenties in the world rankings.
