Junior Development Series

TRACK DEVELOPMENT RACE SERIES (TDRS)

Created in 2019, the Track Development Race Series serves as an identification point and potential pathway entry to the Olympic Development Program for American junior cyclists.

2020 Track Development Race Series
Calendar

The USA Cycling Track Development Race Series started in 2019. The calendar consisted of four Junior National Track Cups. Moving forward to 2020, the calendar will consist of local events put on by velodromes around the country. The new format is intended to increase participation at local tracks and at our National Events. This series is also a launching pad for younger juniors to develop their skills and fitness to participate at higher caliber Olympic Development Program Track Races.
