The Tour of Utah is a U.S. professional road bicycle racing stage race across the state of Utah. Deemed as America's "toughest tour" for the diverse terrain and mountainous climbs. On March 30, race organizers announced the 2007 edition of the race, scheduled for July 2-7, would be postponed due to a lack of sponsorship. The race had been scheduled to be part of the 2006-2007 UCI America Tour and the inaugural 2007 USA Cycling Professional Tour.
