USA Cycling will offer free live-streaming of all ten of the new American Criterium Cup races across Outside Interactive’s cycling websites, including VeloNews, Peloton Magazine and Cycling Tips.
The American Criterium Cup series was formed through a collaboration between national governing body USA Cycling, race promoters, and the National Association of Cycling Teams (NACT).
The first race is the Sunny King Criterium in Anniston, Alabama, on April 9, and the series continues through to the Bommarito Audi Gateway Cup in St Louis in September.
“The future of the newly named American Criterium race series looks promising,” said Jennifer Cvar, Founder and Executive Director, IU Health Momentum Indy, which is the ninth race of the series.
“Our partnership with Outside Interactive and USA Cycling will allow each of our events to bring this unique form of bike racing not only to our local communities, but to a wider audience across the country.”
For 2022, The American Criterium Cup series will focus on the theme of unity across events, teams, and USA Cycling. Through highlighting this theme, the organizations hope to bring more awareness to the stature of criterium racing in the US.
Teams that have committed to participating in the race series include ButcherBox Cycling p/b LOOK, Best Buddies Racing, Project Echelon Racing, Wolfpack Racing, DNA Pro Cycling, Team Clif Bar Cycling, CS Velo Racing and Colavita-HelloFresh Cycling.
“We understand that fan and sponsor engagement is critical to ensuring that this year’s series is a success,” said Dino Piskopanis, Strategic Director of ButcherBox Cycling p/b LOOK Team, NACT founding member and current board member.
“Partnering with Outside Interactive allows us to offer our fans and sponsors a consistent viewing experience throughout the entire series to take them along a season-long story of racing across America’s most prestigious cycling venues.”
