Seven-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong and Colorado governor Bill Ritter will today announce more details on the upcoming new stage race in Colorado. Quiznos appears to have stepped in as a sponsor.
Colorado has set the stage for a new pro race, with Quiznos providing the backing.
Although route details of the eight-day race have yet to be released, the event could feature some of the highlights of the Coors Classic, the last major pro stage race to be held in Colorado. The Coors Classic ran for 10 years, ending in 1988.
Armstrong and Ritter first met on the concept early last year, and anticipation in the cycling community has been building since.
VeloNews reported Friday that Medalist Sports, the race infrastructure behind the Amgen Tour of California, will also be involved in the Colorado event.
Armstrong and Ritter are hosting a press conference at 10 a.m. in downtown Denver. Check back soon for a complete report.
