APS Pro Cycling by Team Cadence Cyclery and Good Guys Racing NYC 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 22, 2026 – Continental Team APS Pro Cycling by Team Cadence Cyclery and club team Good Guys Racing NYC 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.
“As an American team you can’t say no to a race that starts in iconic New York City – and we’re coming to GPNYC to win!” says Team APS Pro Cycling by Team Cadence Cyclery Director, Chris Daggs. “We have riders who can sprint and riders who can be off the front on this challenging course. We’d love to be on that podium at the end of the day and our American riders have this day marked on their calendars.”
“The opportunity to compete at the highest level in the country, on our home roads, means a great deal to us,” says Good Guys Racing NYC Managing Director Cormac Daly. “We take pride in representing our city and being part of an event that uniquely brings together professional racing and the wider cycling community through GFNY. We want to be active in early moves but also be ready for the decisive split over Gate Hill and Cheescote which animates the race, and ultimately put ourselves in a position to compete for the win!”

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.
The official website of the GFNY Pro Series’ flagship event, Gran Premio New York City, is gp.gfny.com.
