USA Cycling has announced the 2017 Pro Road Tour (PRT) calendar, which includes the top cycling events in the United States from the National Racing Calendar (NRC) and National Criterium Calendar (NCC).
“We have had input from the Pro Road Committee and various teams, athletes and race directors, including a sit-down meeting in May, and we feel that this lineup of events is an excellent step in the second year of the Pro Road Tour,” said Micah Rice, Vice President of Events, USA Cycling. “We had a great first year of the PRT last year, and we feel that 2017 will allow for some excellent racing.”
Southern California’s Dana Point Grand Prix of Cycling and Redlands Bicycle Classic, Redlands will be benefit from their 2017 dates. Both events will be held just a few days apart, with the Dana Point Grand Prix of Cycling on April 30 and the Redlands Bicycle Classic on May 3-7. This should allow better coordination for Teams to attend and offer some great competition and stronger fields for each event.
