Tour de Georgia cancelled for 2009

Friday, November 14, 2008

According to a story on the KRCG web site:

The Tour de Georgia will not hold its annual race through the state in 2009 but plans to return in 2010.

The Tour de Georgia, the seven-day race billed as North America's premier professional cycling event, has struggled financially as it could not find a title sponsor the last two years.

Support in the Tour de Georgia declined following Lance Armstrong's retirement. The announcement to cancel the race came despite Armstrong's recent comeback, including plans to return to the Georgia event. . . .

2009 will be used "to plan ahead and properly position" the Tour de Georgia.
