After only four years, the Tour de Georgia has grown from a dream to a major international stage race. This week, the Union Cycliste International (UCI) has elevated next year’s race to its highest classification (2HC, or Hors Classe). This marks the first time that a US stage race has received this disignation. More importantly, this will ensure the continued success of the event. With this improved classification, substantial UCI points will be available very early in the season. So we can expect another phenomenal turnout from international cycling – even w/o Lance Armstrong riding. I think I just may take a spring vacation in Georgia next year!
