Tour de Georgia Posts Route

Organizers of the Tour de Georgia have announced the route and host cities for the 2007 ride to begin April 16th. In an effort to continue to build the T de G as the premier American professional racing event and the great American warm up for the European Grand Tours, they have added a mountain top time-trial at Lookout Mountain to the venerable climbing stage to the top of Brasstown Bald. The tour also grows by a day to begin on Monday and run for seven days now.
One point to note is the change in sponsorship again this year. With difficult times falling on American automakers and cycling still holding just a niche market in the sports landscape, the tour has lost the original sponsor Dodge as well as last year's sponsor Ford. Now, owned and sponsored by the state of Georgia, we hope for a more a little more consistency.
Other than that, teams and riders will be announced around January to join Discovery Channel and Predictor-Lotto who have already given their intention to ride.
