Drapac Pro Cycling will return to Sunday’s Parx Casino Philladelphia International Cycling Classic for the second consecutive year, hoping to keep the momentum rolling that the team built in the US last month at the Tour of the Gila and Tour of California.
The men will race for 173km during the UCI 1.2 event on a course that takes in the Philadelphia communities of Manayunk, Roxborough and East Falls. The course starts and finishes on the infamous Manayunk Wall, which tops out on Roxborough’s Lyceum Avenue.
Drapac's Philadelphia roster will include Lachlan Norris, who finished 11th overall at both Gila and California, along with Dylan Girdlestone, Jordan Kerby, Darren Lapthorne, Malcolm Rudolph, Brenton Jones, Martin Kohler and Samuel Spokes.

Kerby finished third during the individual time trial at the Tour of the Gila, but Wouter Wippert, who has come closest to winning so far during the team’s US trip with two second places in California, won’t be in Philly on Sunday.
Drapac director Tom Southam said Philly is a different race for the team, which doesn’t do a lot of one-day races.
"So for our riders, it's important to get everything correct from the start,” Southam said.
