The Great River Energy Bicycle Festival continues in downtown Saint Paul’s Lowertown district with the opening stage of the Nature Valley Grand Prix.
New to the Nature Valley Grand Prix in 2007, this is a wide-open course with a gentle incline to the finish line. The race is likely to end in a big pack sprint, with the winner claiming the Nature Valley Grand Prix yellow leader’s jersey.
This is a perfect way to relax after a long day of work—watching someone ELSE suffer for a change.
Wheaties Sports Tip: The Downtown Saint Paul Criterium will favor powerful sprinters. Sprinters often struggle in the time trial and hilly weekend races, so Wednesday’s winner will have a tough time defending the leader’s jersey.
