USA Cycling announces venues for 2015-16 national championships and a change to the mountain bike nationals format

The Grand Cycling Classic brings the men and women to the east side of Lake Michigan Saturday for classic, Midwest downtown criteriums. The men are the headliners early in the day with the professional national championships in the morning.

'A jersey is on its way,' USA Cycling says.

Sean Milne will likely be declared 2007 national crit champion after Kirk O'Bee's disqualification. But the late honor will deny Milne the privilege of racing in the stars-and-stripes jersey.

Next year's U.S. pro crit championships will be open only to Americans and will be held in Grand Rapids, Michigan. But what about the rough roads?

Canadian champ David Veilleux wins the USA Cycling National Professional Criterium Championships, while Holloway collects the U.S. crit crown as the first American across the line.

USA Cycling's Professional Criterium National Championship heads up the weekend's action in American cycling, as stage racers ready for next week's Tour of Utah.
