Tour of Utah, Quiznos Pro Challenge (Colorado) replace Tour of Missouri

The reconstituted and upgraded Tour of Utah and the new Quiznos Pro Challenge are set to replace the Tour of Missouri in 2011.

The Tour of Utah, set for August 9-14, 2011, has upgraded its UCI rating and is now billed as one of the top three pro stage races in the U.S.--the exact position previously held by the Tour of Missouri.

The Quiznos Pro Challenge, with a course through Colorado's Rocky Mountains, is set for August 22-28, 2011, the exact calendar spot previously held by the Tour of Missouri.

When the Tour of Missouri was under discussion in 2010, Missouri's top tourism leaders repeatedly claim that no other state was interested in taking on a pro bicycle tour like the Tour of Missouri.

I guess they were wrong . . . twice over.
