or c) a really good practical joke. There are all kinds of fake sites and notices on the web as it is. Maybe this is one of them?

The more I think about their whole proposed schedule the more I'm
convinced this is either:
a) a clever publicity stunt
or
b) some people who are completely out to lunch

I mean come on, a stage finish in Tonopah, Nevada? Who's actually been
to Tonopah? I don't know about you but that's far from the top of my
list as a bicycling destination of any kind - let alone a race.
