Jittery Joe's excited about Georgia

It's unlikely that any of its riders will challenge for the podium, especially as 2004 winner Lance Armstrong is returning to defend his title, but the Jittery Joe's cycling team is nevertheless excited about the upcoming Tour of Georgia. The team is based in Athens, Georgia and so enjoys unique status as far as the local media are concerned.

"The amount of media we get from the Dodge Tour is more than we get the rest of the year combined," says team manager Micah Rice. "It is really an honor to just get invited to a race of this magnitude, but to be the hometown team is really special."
