The series may end up consisting of a few crits in Timbuktu. I think we can say the ProTour is officially dead. Shameless stolen from DP: After three years of investment in the Eindhoven Team Time Trial, the Mayor and municipal representatives of the Dutch city have decided yesterday to end their involvement in the organisation of the event. As a result, the event will be withdrawn from the 2008 UCI ProTour calendar.... The UCI will consult the teams and with them examine whether the race should be replaced by another team time trial or other type of event. __________________ "You are like the wind and I like the lion.
