Past National Road Race Champions
The USA Cycling Professional Road Race Championship, a one-day road race which began in 1985, was previously held in Philadelphia, Penn. The event was moved to Greenville, S.C. in 2006. That same year USA Cycling changed the rules for entry into the road race field for professionals.
All competitors were required to be U.S. citizens, as well as to be members of UCI-registered trade teams. Previously, the event was open to both American and international professional riders. For more information, visit www.usacycling.org.
