I'm hardly breaking news with this item but the Tour of Missouri teams have been announced:

Columbia (USA)
Liquigas (Italy)
Rabobank (Netherlands)
Garmin-Chipotle (USA)
BMC (USA)
Sparkasse (Germany)
Tecos (Mexico)
Symmetrics (Canada)
Health Net presented by MAXXIS (USA)
Toyota-United (USA)
Rock Racing (USA)
Colavita Sutter Home presented by Cooking Light (USA)
Bissell (USA)
Kelly Benefit Strategies - Medifast (USA)
Jelly Belly (USA)

I kind of thought Astana had planned to make an appearance but, honestly, I am not surprised to see them skip the race. They have bigger fish to fry at the Vuelta.

No surprise that Scott-American Beef (Saunier Duval) will not be participating. I wonder if they were scheduled to attend before the tiny incidents they had in France?
