USA Cycling releases 2015-16 Pro CX Calendar
Cyclo-cross schedule includes six UCI C1 events and 39 UCI C2 events
USA Cycling today unveiled its 2015-16 Pro CX Calendar, which runs from September through January and will visit 45 races in 25 cities.
The calendar, which begins September 5 with the Full Moon Vista-Ellison Park Cyclocross Festival in Rochester, New York, features six UCI C1 events and 39 UCI C2 events, as well as eight junior men's races and four U23 men's races. The final race on the calendar is the Kingsport Cyclo-cross Cup on January 2 in Kingsport, Tennessee.
The national calendar also includes the Clif Bar Cross Vegas UCI World Cup in Las Vegas on September 16 and the Pan American Continental Cyclo-cross Championships in Covington, Kentucky, on November 1.
Jamie Driscoll (Raleigh-Clement) won the men’s overall title last year, while Caroline Mani (Raleigh-Clement) took the women’s crown. Spencer Petrov (Element Cycles) will be the defending champ in the junior men's season-long competition as he returns for another year in the junior ranks.
The Pro CX determines the best US cyclo-cross racers over the course of a season by tracking standings among elite men, elite women and junior men. Riders in those categories accumulate points by placing in the top 15 of the calendar's races. C1 races offer three times the points of C2 races.
