The 2013 USA Pro Cycling Challenge is the third edition of the USA Pro Cycling Challenge stage race. Once again, the race was included on the UCI America Tour, with a UCI classification of 2.HC. As such, the race was only open to teams on the UCI Pro Tour, UCI Professional Continental and UCI Continental circuits. The race took place between August 19–25, 2013 as a seven-day, seven-stage race, traversing the state of Colorado. The 2013 USA Pro Cycling Challenge was one of six UCI-ranked stage races in the United States in 2013, and one of two (along with the 2013 Tour of California) that attracted multiple UCI ProTeams to compete.
American Tejay van Garderen of {{UCI team code|BMC|2013}} won the overall title after finishing lower on the podium the previous two years.{{cite web|url=http://www.denverpost.com/cycling/ci_23940552/colorados-tejay-van-garderen-wins-third-annual-usa?source=rss|title=Colorado's Tejay van Garderen wins third annual USA Pro Challenge|publisher=Denver Post|last=Henderson|first=John|date=2013-08-26}}

Classification leadership

In the 2013 USA Pro Cycling Challenge, five jerseys are awarded. For the general classification, calculated by adding the finishing times of the stages per cyclist, the leader receives a yellow jersey.{{cite web|url=http://www.usaprocyclingchallenge.com/leader-jerseys|title=Leader Jersey|publisher=USA Pro Cycling Challenge|accessdate=August 19, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120920014128/http://usaprocyclingchallenge.com/leader-jerseys|archive-date=September 20, 2012|url-status=dead|df=mdy-all}} This classification is considered the most important of the USA Pro Cycling Challenge, and the winner of the general classification will be considered the winner of the event.{{cite web|url=http://www.usaprocyclingchallenge.com/jerseys|title=Jerseys|publisher=USA Pro Cycling Challenge|accessdate=August 19, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140819125707/http://www.usaprocyclingchallenge.com/jerseys|archive-date=August 19, 2014|url-status=dead|df=mdy-all}}
Additionally, there is also a sprints classification, akin to what is called the points classification in other races, which awards a green jersey. Points are gathered at sprint line performances as well as finishing the stage in the top-fifteen places.
There is also a mountains classification, which awards a red jersey. In the mountains classifications, points are won by reaching the top of a mountain before other cyclists. Each climb is categorized, either first, second, third, or fourth category, with more points available for the harder climbs.
There is also a youth classification. This classification is calculated the same way as the general classification, but only young cyclists (under 23) are included. The leader of the young rider classification receives a white jersey.
The last jersey is awarded to the most aggressive rider of a stage for him to wear on the next stage. It is generally awarded to a rider who attacks constantly or spends a lot of time in the breakaways. This jersey is orange.
There is also a classification for teams. In this classification, the times of the best three cyclists per stage are added, and the team with the lowest time is the leader.
