Yes, you read right. And I'm not going nuts. The UCI has decided to make Tour Down Under a Pro Tour race. Therefore, the Pro Tour will now start on the 20th of January 2008  |

That's good for Australian's everywhere, this may result in people peaking too early though
as it is what? 2 months earlier than they normally would ride 110% for

Great news! I suspect that SouthAustralia.com will race in a ProTour event next year then!

This will mean that, even as a ProTour race they will not have the bunch of stars they hope. As Addy said, is too early to pick, but who knows, there are surprises everywhere.....

I wouldn't say it was known already. There's a ot of talk and speculation, and there's this unofficial paper:
But that's it. No official news have been announced before now. |

a ProTour race on January 20th?
we'll start to see some very mediocre riders winning ProTour races then...
can Bouyges play an all-or-nothing there and have a chance of not finishing last in the team rankings?
