Former 7-Eleven team manager and current USAC chief operating officer Sean Petty hoped that the Quiznos route would visit, or at least rekindle memories of iconic Coors Classic stages. “Having been there when it was in its heyday, I have a real soft spot for Tour of the Moon and of course the Vail Village Criterium, which would be hard to bring back,” he said. “Going over Independence Pass, Boulder Park Criterium, Tivoli, all of those things, it would be nice to pay really homage to the Coors Classic. And they’re great courses and have great spectators.”
