“To have this race in my home state is unbelievable,” said Dan Schmatz, a professional cyclist originally from the St. Louis area and now riding for the BMC professional cycling team. “It will be unique to race on roads that I have trained on. I think Missouri will be surprised by what they will see. We’re looking to put on a real-good show.”

This is going to be fun. I would bet Pfoodman has a tent in each of Columbia, St. Charles and St. Louis host cities promoting new business http://www.wapiti.com/.
The pic of Dan Schmatz pretty well depicts the level of racing expected during the tour. Dan is a local boy from the St. Louis area along with Kevin Livingston, former 6 time Tour "Day" France competitor. Dan will be competing in the race, Kevin is part of Medalist Sports, the Tour of Missouri Organizer. What is so interesting about this sport is that many competitors are approachable. Both Dan and Kevin are wonderful role models and continue to provide solid examples of how a little speed, health and fitness, nutrition and the right attitude, can keep you feeling good, regardless of your level of competition.A little about Dan:
