Tour of Missouri announces 2009 dates
The Tour of Missouri, which enters its third year in 2009, on Tuesday formally announced its dates as September 7th to 13th, next year. The race organizers also announced that the race will be a UCI Category 2 Hors Category event next year.
Missouri and the Amgen Tour of California are now the only Cat. 2HC events in the U.S.
“The success of the first two years is really astounding,” said Missouri’s Lt. Governor Peter Kinder, in a statement. Kinder also serves as chairman of Tour of Missouri, Inc., the event’s rights holder.
“Due to its overwhelming success, the international governing body as well as USA Cycling have recognized all the good work done by host communities, state tourism, race organizers, and, of course, our sponsors. This marks a great step for the event and bodes well for the people supporting this great race,” Kinder said.
