The final list of founding events for a new national criterium series in the US was revealed this week, providing 10 criteriums across nine states. Two races in New York, the MVP Health Care Rochester Twilight Criterium and the Harlem Skyscraper Cycling Classic, were added to an early lineup released a month ago. Also included are the Sunny King Criterium in Alabama and one of the nine days of racing from the Intelligentsia Cup in Illinois.

America’s Criterium Cup was the leading contender for an official title of the series, pending approval by organisers on Friday.
