It will be a 2.1 race in 2011 and will be part of the WorldTour in 2012.

Pat McQuaid says it is an important step in the globalization of pro-cycling.

The Schleck brothers have been announced as participants in the first edition of the race. Here they are seen at the presentation yesterday:

Appearance fees are wonderful things.

Any word on the route or the date? I assume this will be an early-season warm weather complement to the Tours of Oman and Qatar, is it expected to have a similar short-stage sprinter-friendly profile?
