The Tour of Missouri is a professional road bicycle racing stage race held in Missouri that will make its debut on September 11, 2007 with six days of racing. Run by same organizers as the Tour de Georgia and the Amgen Tour of California, the Tour of Missouri is being billed as the third highest profile domestic race in the United States. The Tour is part of the 2006-2007 UCI America Tour and the inaugural 2007 USA Cycling Professional Tour.
The Missouri terrain is not mountainous by California and Georgia standards but expect three of the six stages to be contested on relentless rolling hills. No title sponsor has been announced. The planned course:
- Day 1: Kansas City, road race, out-and-back course starting and ending in the Plaza
- Day 2: Clinton-Springfield, road race
- Day 3: Branson, individual time trial
- Day 4: Lebanon-Columbia, road race
- Day 5: Jefferson City-St. Charles, road race
