USA Cycling has confirmed that the newest cycling series in the US officially has a name, the American Criterium Cup.
A core group of cycling stakeholders, including criterium race directors, cycling teams, and USA Cycling, which announced the full ten-event calendar in January, has announced the official series name and unveiled the leaders’ jersey.
“The series, and all the race directors associated with it, are excited to announce the name for the series, American Criterium Cup,” said Mike Weiss, Race Director of the Bommarito Audi Gateway Cup.
“For 2022, the series will focus on the theme of ‘unity’, with events, teams, and USA Cycling having a common goal of elevating the stature of criterium racing in the United States.”
In just under a month, the series kicks off with the Sunny King Criterium in Anniston, Alabama, on April 9th. The next event, MVP Health Care Rochester Twilight Festival, is on May 21st in Rochester, N.Y. Both events have registration open, and each event in the series will be live-streamed.
