In 2025, USA Cycling will partner with the USA Juniors Cup to select athletes from the eight-race series for National Team camps.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado (December 10, 2024) – USA Cycling is thrilled to announce the return of the USA Juniors Cup for 2025, continuing the partnership to deliver a premier national development race series. The mission remains the same: a reliable calendar with a competitive format where USA Cycling can identify young talent.
Building on the success of previous years, the 2025 series will feature eight events, three of which have been designated as National Team Selection Events. Similar to this past season, the top performers at Valley of the Sun (Arizona), La Primavera (Texas), and Tour of America’s Dairyland (Wisconsin) will earn invitations to National Team trips and camps.
The overall general classification winners of each selection event for the Junior 17-18 Men’s and Women’s categories will receive automatic nominations for a 2025 National Team trip, partially funded by the USA Juniors Cup. Additionally, the top-placed 15-16 male and female riders at each selection race will be invited to attend a USA Cycling European race camp.
