TdeMO

While living in Guatemala, I was amazed it pulled off a tour. Why could Amerika not do this? We are now in grand fashion with the TofMO. JellyBelly, Rabobank, Liquigas, Columbia et al. rolling around our state makes me beam with pride. However, we are following in the foot steps of the other grand tours with the jerseys. We need something to really set our tour apart and let people really know what Missouri is about while making our race unique. I suggest the the following changes:

  • Yellow jersey becomes the an A-teeshirt. Winning is not only based on overall fastest time, but who can consume the most fried chicken, cookie salad and STAG. The A-teeshirt would symbolize the free spirit of Missouri.
  • Green jersey becomes the Judas Priest half shirt. This fastest sprinter would wear a jersey that symbolizes the a** kickinest music heard on loops around the state boomin' out of muscle cars.
  • King of the Mountains jersey would become the hill top possum jersey. Since there are no mountains in Missouri, the jersey would be styled after the possum huntin' attire: sleeveless camo shirt.
  • Best young rider jersey would ride topless and shoeless like young'uns in Missouri.
Some riders are already getting into the spirit of things. Huff not only signed these but also some finer women's attire. Long Live the Tour of Missouri.

What about cut-off overalls with cowboy boots and no shirt for most aggressive rider?

can I request a more in-depth rundown of the actual tail gate party? that roadside display looks like something on the road to chi-chi except instead of a goat you've got a cajun named for a italian champ from Castellania. were you playing Judas Priest from the trunk?
