COLORADO SPRING, Co ─ After gathering input from U.S. teams, riders, organizers, officials and other stakeholders, USA Cycling has determined that teams will be allowed to once again use race radios in National Racing Calendar (NRC) competition and at the USA Cycling professional and elite road national championship events.

It’s a good thing the Utah Cyclocross Series isn’t sanctioned, or we’d be fucked too … nothing like taking an obscure rule that no one knows about and which has never been enforced and then stating that not only is it going to be enforced next season, but oh, because you didn’t get approval in [...]

RGM Watches-Richard Sachs-Rex Chiu Cyclocross Team member Will Dugan, who will [...]
Does anyone else find it ironic that USA Cycling charges people $35.00 for the “privilege” of sitting on a start or finish line and listening to people complain, for pay that is barely above minimum wage, and forces them to wear a uniform at the same time?
No wonder most of the local associations are [...]
I completely missed this on VeloNews and CyclingNews.com this past Friday, just stumbling across this article on the BBC this morning.
BBC SPORT | Other sport… | Cycling | 2009 Tour of Georgia is scrapped
The Tour of Georgia, one of American’s cycling’s most prestigious events, has been cancelled for next season.
