		feature article - july 2009 International Cycling Classic returns to Milwaukee’s lakefront THE 41ST INTERNATIONAL Cycling Classic, which includes the Superweek Pro Tour, this month returns to the Milwaukee lakefront where American cycling legends Greg Lemond and Lance Armstrong once competed. Recognized as the world’s largest multi-category cycling event, the classic will bring top amateur and professional cyclists from more than 20 countries to Southeastern Wisconsin for races from July 16-26. “All the greats have raced on the lakefront course,” says Eddy Van Guyse, a Californian who has served as race announcer for many years.
