Letter from Daniel

Gov. Nixon,

Have you seen any of the Tour de France this year? Record crowds in every city! If Lance Armstrong comes with Astana to Missouri, we're going to have unbelievable crowds all over.

IT WOULD BE CRAZY TO NOT HAVE THE TOUR OF MISSOURI THIS YEAR IF LANCE IS COMING.

Levi Leipheimer twittered yesterday: "The crowd on the Tourmalet was RIDICULOUS!! It was awesome! Thanks to everyone who journeyed their way up there". Check some of the other riders twitters (like Lance Armstrong, George Hincapie (2007 Tour of Mo winner) and Mark Renshaw from Columbia Highroad).

Lance wrote yesterday: "The Tour has gotten so big that approx. 8,000 are looking for rooms every night. That's about the population of this stage town, St Girons." Missouri needs this problem! :)
