Tour de l'Avenir

I've only been following the results, but tomorrow is supposed to be the big up hill finish.  This is a U23 race with National teams instead of trade teams.

A Tunisian rider won the ITT and there is some question about how much he will race/eat due to the upcoming start of Ramadan (I don't know the dates).  Also, Craig Lewis of the USA (also Slipstream/Chiplote) is in 5th place.

If I am correct, Lewis is the rider that crashed badly in the Tour of Georgia a few years ago when a car pulled onto the course.  I don't think he has a contract for next year yet, but it looks like he is doing a great race.

I don't know of any coverage of this race other than the reports from cyclingnews, but it has been interesting to read about.
