Cyclists to watch:
Burke Swindlehurst and Jeff Louder are the local boys, and Jeff was the GC winner of the 2008 Tour of Utah. This is Floyd Landis' first season back since his 2 year doping suspension following the 2006 Tour de France doping scandal.

Other cyclists to watch, but not for their performance:
The circus that is Rock Racing - although Freddy Rodriguez did put in an impressive performance in last year at the downtown criterium. David Clinger - probably the only pro cyclist to sport a full-face Maori tattoo.
