The Tour of Utah, America's third biggest stage race behind the Tours of Georgia and California, has undergone a restructuring of its management committee and will now be led by former Salt Lake City Mayor Ted Wilson as Executive Director. Featuring some of Utah's highest mountain passes and widely accepted as America's hardest stage race, the 2007 event is now officially certified by the UCI as a 2.2 ranked stage race on the American Tour.
"Being an avid biker myself, I understand the importance of this race to the riders as well as the community," said Wilson. "Our whole new structure makes this a community event. There are no profit takers. If we make money it will go back into the race or to charity. I look forward to working with the board as well as the hundreds of volunteers who will make this event a success."
