USA Grand Tour

So we all know that cycling is not interesting to most in America - plenty already written about why that might be. But we do now have 3 pretty strong 1 week races in California, Utah and Colorado. Perhaps a joining of the 3 into a single Title might be interesting.

First of all, we have to rename the Colorado race - calling it "USA" anything, and keeping it limited to 1 state just doesn't make any sense. Tour of Colorado is already taken of course, but something with Colorado in the name might be helpful, eh? Then take the USA Pro Cycling Challenge name, and use it as an over-arching title for the 3 US 1 week races. Create a combined points scheme and award something interesting at the end of the 3rd race (currently Colorado on the schedule).

Seems this would give incentive to riders to attend all 3 and create longer term interest from fans of each of the 3 races.
