An announcement will be made soon concerning the identities of the first of the big teams from Europe, the USA and South America for the new Montreal-Boston stage race, to be run from August 4-11, 2007.

The race will be organised by Daniel Manibel, who has much experience in running big events such as the Montreal round of the UCI women’s World Cup. He will be provided with general technical consultancy from the UK-based Events Group, who will also organise the Manchester round of the track World Cup in February as well as assist in the running of the Tour de Langkawi.

Events Group Managing Director Alan Rushton said that he was excited about the race. "We are delighted to be working on this new event," he stated, "and are looking forward to contributing to making this an international success. We are targeting a range of entries from the top European teams as well as those from the USA and South America."
