A tentative Superweek schedule is out.

• » We have the same local crits as last year, but Bensenville moves from the first Sunday to the first Wednesday. The series again opens with a P/1/2 twilight criterium on Friday, July 11, in Chicago’s Beverly neighborhood, followed by a criterium in Blue Island the next day and then the Evanston Grand Prix the next Sunday.
  
• » Some notable road races are not listed: the Tour of Alpine Valley, the MGA Proving Grounds Road Race and an awesome course last used in 2005 on the Milwaukee lakefront. (In an interview last year, Breakaway communications director Jon Reimer indicated that a return was expected now that a construction project there was complete.) Also missing are crits in Green Bay and Sheboygan, Wis. There are, however, three TBA’s on the schedule, so perhaps we’ll see some of these courses yet.
  
• » The criterium formerly in Green Lake, Wis., moves a bit west to Ripon, and there’s a new criterium in Racine.
  
• » For the first time in the 40-year history of Superweek, all categories will race on the popular Downer Avenue course in Milwaukee on the series’ final Saturday -- accompanied by an “all-day Belgian beerfest.”
