I received some Chicago Criterium updates from my source deep within the bowels of City Hall:

• » Fewer than 40 slots remain in the 125-man 4’s field. Register now or risk missing out on the race of the year.
• » Professional rosters are yet to be released, but you can expect to see fan-favorite Chris Horner (Astana). Horner has raced the past two years of the Tour of Elk Grove, and it’s never a mere celebrity appearance. He rides an animated race and races to win.
• » $40,000 in prize money not enough? Winners jerseys will also be up for grabs in all races. I’ll post an image as soon as I have one.
