On Saturday, December 11th, USA Cycling, in collaboration with the Echelon Racing League, will be hosting a UCI Cycling Esports World Championship qualifier event on the RGT Cycling platform. This will qualify one man and one woman for the UCI Esports World Championship on February 26, 2022.
The qualifying event will correspond with the Echelon Racing Promotions Community League, a series sponsored by USA Cycling. The event will take place on the Gateway Cup p/b Bommarito Audi Benton Park Course, a longstanding Pro Road Tour event located in the heart of St Louis, MO.
Via RGT Cycling, using GPS data, event organizers are able to create a replica a real-life course in RGT’s virtual world. RGT Cycling, a free to use virtual cycling platform, also takes real world physics and positioning into consideration as a part of the experience.
All interested competitors can register for the qualification event, and all future Echelon Racing League events, through BikeReg. Registration for this event will close at 17:00 EST on Wednesday, December 8th. All competitors will be required to follow the Echelon’s governance.
The races, which start at 11:00 EST on December 11th, will be livestreamed on the Echelon Racing League Facebook page and USA Cycling’s YouTube channel.
