Along with 2007 winner George Hincapie, Team Columbia is bringing Manx fastman Mark Cavendish and three time World TT champ Mick Rogers. It will be interesting to see how North American based sprinters like Toyota-United's "Cuban Missile" Ivan Dominguez and Colavita-Sutter Home's Sebastian Haedo stack up against Cavendish. Other fast finishers at Missouri are Liquigas Italian Francesco Chicchi and Ty Farrar of Garmin/Chipotle who was sprinting well at the recent Volta a Portugal.
Overall honors at the Tour of Missouri could go to Columbia's Italian stallion Marco Pinotti, Liquigas rider Roman Kreuziger, who won the Tour of Switzerland in June or Garmin / Chipotle's Christian
Vandevelde, if he's recovered from his Tour De France efforts.
