The fallout continues for USA CRITS as two of its partner races, Boise Twilight Criterium and Tulsa Tough, have said they are discontinuing their association with the national series. The events follow announcements by two pro cycling teams, L39ION of Los Angeles and Aevolo Cycling, which said they would not participate in the series going forward.

Earlier this week it was learned that Swagger LLC, the company that owns and operates USA CRITS, dismissed managing director Scott Morris in relation to the temporary suspension he received in September from US Center for SafeSport on allegations of “misconduct”.
