A couple weeks back I had the opportunity to help out with the innaugural Tour of Missouri bike race. 40,000 spectators through the streets of Kansas City to watch some pretty fantastic bike racing. This was the last US race for Team Discovery Channel, made famous by one Lance Armstrong. They had some serious firepower at this race including, eventual winner George Hincapie, 2007 US National Champion (3rd place Tour de France) Levi Leipheimer, perennial butt-kicker workhorses Yaroslav Popovych and Benjamin Noval, and 2007 Tour de France winner Alberto Contador. A lot of random names for those who aren't fans, but Discovery Channel was the Yankees of cycling. Also present, Team Slipstream-Chipotle: Our favorite guys in argyle. A great week for Missouri tourism and excellent coverage from international media.
