The USA Cycling and USA Juniors Cup partnership will continue to deliver in 2026 the best 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 2026 series will feature 9 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 1/2/3 will receive automatic nominations for a 2026 National Team trip, partially funded by the USA Juniors Cup. Additionally, the top-placed 15-16 male and female riders category 1/2/3 at each selection race will be invited to attend a USA Cycling European race camp.
