Les Rouleurs (CAN) and Inteja-Imca Eted (DOM) confirmed for Gran Premio New York City
The UCI professional race takes place alongside the 14th edition of GFNY New York City
NEW YORK CITY, April 30, 2026 – The Club Teams Les Rouleurs (CAN) and Inteja-Imca Eted (DOM) have confirmed their participation in the third edition of Gran Premio New York City, set for May 17, 2026. Their addition further strengthens an already competitive field of elite and professional teams set to compete in the UCI-sanctioned race, held alongside the 14th edition of the Michelob ULTRA GFNY World Championship New York City.
Gran Premio New York City (GP NYC) will take place on May 17, 2026, as a UCI-sanctioned professional road race held on the same course and on the same day as the Michelob ULTRA GFNY World Championship New York City. The professional peloton will start approximately ten minutes ahead of the mass-participation field.
“Gran Premio NYC represents an exciting new chapter for Les Rouleurs. After an intense and successful period racing in Europe, expanding our calendar to the United States is a natural step in our evolution as a team” says Luc Arseneau, Les Rouleurs Sports Director. “We’re looking forward to bringing our racing style to a new audience, engaging with the GFNY community, and delivering a strong and dynamic performance.”
“It is a great honor for such a historic team from the Dominican Republic to have been invited to an event like the GP New York City” says Sports Director Diego Milan. “It is a city closely connected to our country, and we are eagerly looking forward to the day when the Dominican community in New York takes to the streets to cheer on our team.”

GFNY Pro Series
The GFNY Pro Series places UCI-sanctioned professional races directly alongside GFNY mass-participation events using the same courses and the same road closures.
Professional fields start minutes ahead of the GFNY mass peloton, creating a shared race environment while maintaining clear competitive separation. This format increases visibility for teams and sponsors and allows professional racing to operate within existing event infrastructure.
The model was first implemented at Gran Premio New York City, where professional teams race the GFNY World Championship course shortly before the amateur start. GP NYC serves as the template for future Pro Series events.
The GFNY Pro Series expands selectively. Additional UCI races are added only where local conditions, funding, and infrastructure support sustainable professional competition. Planned events include Gran Premio Cozumel, held in conjunction with GFNY Cozumel, pending UCI approval.
GFNY is also evaluating the addition of women’s professional racing within the Pro Series, beginning with a potential women’s race in New York City, developed in partnership with organizations supporting the growth of women’s pro cycling.
