it would be nice if they are able to move the SFGP to San Jose...
i think that the city is losing something by not having the race.. but its up to them to set their priorities and to etablish their boundaries politically... its a shame that the merits of the event couldnt be made compellingy clear to the city... but what can you do?...
will the ToC replace what tehy lost in hosting their own classic event?... no way...
i dont see them being able to have the same epic kind of course that the SFGP had... the two vent would have had a nice synergy for the city... but i dont see ToC replacing what was valuble about the SFGP...

What would be really interesting would be having the SFGP course as a stage of the ToC - it would totally change how the course is ridden.
San Jose is still in a financial crisis from the Indy car race there this summer and is running more in the red than S.F. since the internet popped. I just can't see it happening. Chauner/Tailwind Sports already owes S.F. over 320k dollars from last year and this year, accoring to the SF Chronicle.
