Dunno, but the fact that:

Lance Armstrong Foundation - Austin, TX
Mr. Mitchell Stoller, President and CEO

is the second person on the (website's) list of race organizers suggests
Lance might be interested.

Could it be that Lance will attempt to launch U.S. cycling into a new era by
elite racing in the U.S.? Why not have the "Greatest Cycling Event" in the
United States rather than France. Tough to break a 101 year tradition.
Imagine, Bike racing the greatest sport in America.

I hear the prologue will be held in Plano.

What do you suppose the UCI "pro tour" thing is all about. They're going to do
their damnedest to pre-empt that by having every rider committed to their
program.

There are enough fans and enough great riders and enough customer dollars to
interest the sponsors in at least one grand tour class event. We've got the
terrain for it.

....and the winner is whoever can get the hell out of Plano the fastest.
