        Georgia is an international six-day stage race that draws the
        world's top cyclists, including defending champion Lance
        Armstrong. As sponsor, ChevronTexaco will provide its TOP TIER
        gasoline for 137 Dodge vehicles that make up the race caravan
        of officials and support teams. Chevron with Techron and all
        ChevronTexaco-supplied Texaco gasoline became the first to
        meet new performance criteria in the United States set by four
        leading automakers for TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline, making it
        a natural selection for the race's long distance and demanding
        terrain.
