The 2018 Colorado Classic will feature 14 of the top women’s cycling teams, including 4 UCI registered women’s teams and 5 Colorado-based teams.
The second annual Colorado Classic will showcase women’s cycling by doubling the number of stages for female competitors in 2018, expanding from two to four stages with courses similar to the men’s race. The four stage womens’ race is August 16-19 in Vail and Denver, Colorado.
The effort to advance women’s racing is already paying dividends by attracting teams that include some of the fastest women in the sport.
“We’re building one of the premier pro cycling events in North America for women as well as men, and the caliber of this year’s women’s teams – coupled with expanding from two to four stages – is an important step in the process,” said David Koff, CEO of RPM Events Group, the organization that puts on the Colorado Classic.
The women’s Colorado Classic will once again feature some of the sport’s top squads. To date, officials have secured 14 women’s teams including Rally Cycling, whose Sara Poidevin dominated the Colorado Classic in 2017:
