With deposit payments all sorted we’re now ready to share with you the provisional start list for the inaugural edition of the Silk Road Mountain Race! We plan to add a little more information on riders on the website in time, possibly with a profile for everyone. We’ll also give riders the opportunity to present themselves and talk a little bit about their background on our social media. We are a touch over the 100 rider limit as we’ve had a few requests from journalists that will be covering the race as riders. There will most likely be a few dropouts, and possibly the addition of a handful of strong riders on an invitational basis but other than that, here it is:
