Charleston will host US Pro Road National Championships over the course of next five years
CyclingFriday, 13 October 2023 at 01:00
USA Cycling selected Charleston, West Virginia as the host venue for the next five years for the US Pro Road National Championships, the 2024 event taking place May 15-19, 2024. A total of 18 stars-and-stripes jerseys will be up for grabs across time trial, road race and criterium disciplines for elite riders as well as under-23 and Junior 17-18 age categories for men and women.
"It’s been 20 years since we’ve seen this level of performance by American riders in the European peloton. This makes it the perfect time for USA Cycling to really invest in Pro Road Nationals and make it the ultimate week of road racing for American riders at all levels of the developmental pathway - Professional, U23, and Junior 17-18," said Brendan Quirk, president and CEO of USA Cycling.
"We vetted several different venues and were extremely impressed by the challenging terrain and beauty of West Virginia’s capital city, as well as the capability of the local organizing committee led by the Charleston Convention & Visitors Bureau," Quirk said.
"Our goal for the qualifier in Charleston is to closely mimic the course riders will face in Paris. The 2024 Olympic Time Trial Course is 32.4 kilometers in length and is predominately flat," said Jim Miller, USA Cycling’s Chief of Sport Performance.

- Plus MVDP now having basically done 4 seasons in 2 years might warrant a slightly longer rest than usual, although even then his will STILL be shorter than 98% of all other pro cyclists in any field.Mistermaumau15-11-2024

- C’mon, they need this kind of gooey content in winter to stop readers switching off. Medias sowing seeds to provoke discussion and rumours that lead to a self-defined legitimacy to introduce undesired questions during rider interviews in order to boast delivery of “original” contentMistermaumau15-11-2024

- The reason you don’t see these type of websites often and certainly not in cycling might be that they die before you find them. But tell us about it when you’re done I’ll visit to check it out.Mistermaumau15-11-2024
- Someone should do this: create a cycling news site that is free with no ads. Watch the subscriptions like up. Then carefully and slowly introduce ads. I might do it myself. Sites like CUTD are poorly conceived and consequently a mess. Readers will leave as soon as there is a better alternative.Renz15-11-2024
