Colorado State University partnered with the race by sponsoring the CSU Best Young Rider Jersey, a race within the race for the most talented up-and-coming rider. Each day, the jersey was passed to the highest placed rider under the age of 23.

Clement Chevrier,a Bissell Development team rider, was presented the CSU Best Young Rider Jersey during all seven stages of this year’s Pro Challenge race.
