2009 Participating Teams - Tour of Missouri 2009 - Tour of Missouri 2009

Above is the link for the team break down and some of the highlighted professional cyclist that will be appearing in the Tour of Missouri. So of the interesting info I found is that it will be Levi Leipheimer's first race since his injury in the Tour de France. I think it is awesome that he is using this tour to see where he stands physically. Basically I think that this list is a teaser of who will be there and not a complete release of info. US favorite George Hincapie will be there and I'm sure the Long family is happy about that.

As something totally unexpected the MS Society contacted me due to be a top fundraiser in MS150 of 2008 and offered 2 tickets to a special seated area for the start and finish of the St. Louis leg. With only 50 spot available it was sort of if you RSVPed in time. Well waiting to talk with Jeremy was my downfall. When I responded to the person in charge she only had one ticket left. I was then put on a waiting list for another ticket. About 6 hours later I got an e-mail about the good news of getting another ticket. So the quite unexpected pleasant surprise for me and Jeremy and that we get to go to the Tour of Missouri start and finish Stage 1 with special seating. Hopefully get to see an awesome race and see some awesome cyclist!
