Wow, that is great news and I hope trend starting. I have friends who live on the course and it has been the social highlight of their year to host a party on race day.

This is good news for my old hometown, and years past included many stars, even Jeannie Longo, and last year was good temps, clear skies in the mist of a bad rainy season. The crowds were good with outdoor barbecuing and a festive atmosphere. Amber Rais crashed right in front of diners on the S-curve, but nothing serious, not even road rash, so all things considered, it was fun in perfect weather.

Did cn have it right in writing that the U$AC wouldn't permit the race because the promoters didn't meet the new requirement for sponsorship $$$$?

As I understand it, they would give a permit to the race, but would not put it on the National Racing Calendar without meeting new, higher sponsorship levels. And w/o being on that calendar, fewer top teams would show up.
