The inaugural Quiznos Pro Challenge cycling race in August received an exposure coup as NBC has agreed to televise the final stage live, sources close to the race said today.

NBC will join Versus, the top cycling network in the world, in televising the week-long race which begins Aug. 22 in Colorado Springs and ends in Denver on Aug. 28.

The television deal will be announced at a Tuesday morning news conference on the state capitol steps. Attending will be Versus' legendary Tour de France announcer, Paul Sherwin.
