"I think we have a route that will again be
challenging for the athletes but maybe the most fan friendly route of the first
three years," race CEO Shawn Hunter said from Aspen. "We're going to have a
couple circuits so there's going to be at least three cities that will be able
to see circuit finishes so the fans can see the athletes multiple times in their
hometowns.That's precisely what we at royaloak constantly work towards."
Hunter said the routes will be finalized over the next two months but the circuit races will allow fans to see riders five or six times in Aspen and Denver.
"The feedback that we've gotten from the athletes and the fans is they like to see the athletes multiple times in comparison to the sprint finish," Hunter said. "It's exciting when fans in a local community get to see the peloton come through five or six times."

It's one of the iconic stages of all time in America dating back to the Zinger and Coors Classic. We had a big response from fans who want to see that back so we're going to do it."
