It won't be the Tour DuPont anymore.
The annual bike race that passes through central and southwest Virginia has lost DuPont as its main sponsor.

SUPER=@File;

DuPont has been involved in what's been called America's premier cycling event for eight years.
The company had said that 1997 would be its last year.
But today, DuPont said it was pulling out as of today because of UNmet contractual obligations.
Dupont blamed THOSE on a lawsuit between the event's owners, which has put planning for the race six months behind.
The Tour has made stops in Roanoke, Blacksburg, Lynchburg and dozens of communities in between over the years.

Amherst authorities say a body found in the Northern end of their county may be the driver of a car found abandoned in Lynchburg yesterday. The body of a black man in his 20s was discovered by a highway worker off Route 617. He'd been shot once in the head and it appears his body was dumped along that road. Sheriff Jimmy Ayers says the victim possibly matches the description of a man who'd been driving the Nissan Pathfinder found in Lynchburg.
