CANCELLED http://www.velonews.com/article/79063/money-woes-lead-to-colorado-stage-race-cancellation

You think if the pros had that on their calendar anyway they may decide to come anyway and do the crits scheduled for that weekend?

This race has been planned and cancelled at least 3 times now. I'm not sure what Vail is thinking. Perhaps they should quit teasing us.
