Information for Competitors

The Univest Grand Prix is an international pro road cycling competition for men. The race was amateur for the first eight years and turned pro in 2006. Now in its tenth year, it is one of only thirteen professional UCI (International Cycling Union) races on the United States calendar. The Univest Grand Prix is open to UCI Continental Pro, Continental and invited USA Cycling amateur teams. The Race Direction focuses on bringing together North America's best Mexican, Canadian and US of A racing teams and mixing them them with excited and motivated challengers from Europe. The racing at the Univest Grand Prix is always tactical and brutally hard. In 1998 three riders contested the finish: since then, only 2-man sprints or solo rides have won the race.
