USA Crits unveils 21 elite teams for 2020

USA Crits on Tuesday revealed the 21 teams that will compete in the series’s elite division, which it labels the “D1” category. Teams in the D1 category agree to participate in the entire USA Crits series, which in years past has included upwards of 10 races spread across the calendar.

Returning to the series are 2019 men’s D1 champion ButcherBox Cycling and D1 women’s winners Colavita/Cavaliere d’Oro Pro Cycling. Joining the two squads are a host of new squads to the series, as well as veteran teams. In total, USA Crits will feature nine teams in the women’s D1 category and 12 squads in the men’s D1 category.

“Seeing new teams develop with the sole purpose of racing the series and existing teams gaining new sponsors because they are getting exposure from our broadcasts is exciting,” said Scott Morris, development director of USA Crits in a release. “The creation of season long team and rider storylines is what the sport needs. We are making progress toward our goals.”

The series, which will celebrate its 14th running in 2020, has yet to reveal its race dates for 2020. In years past it has included the Athens Twilight Criterium, Winston-Salem Cycling Classic, Littleton Twilight Criterium, and Tulsa Tough, among other national events. USA Crits livestreams all of the events online.
