The racing in Detroit is the best in the Nation
After a nearly 45-year hiatus, the US Madison National Championships are BACK in Detroit for 2021. Joining a long list of National Championships in Road, MTB, BMX, Cyclocross, and Track, the Madison rounds out USA Cycling’s portfolio of Stars-n-Stripes offerings.
We are incredibly proud to welcome racers from all across the country to the 50-degree banking of the Lexus Velodrome, a track tailor-made for Madison racing. Taking cues from European 6-Day races, the vibe is part-party, part-business, but totally safe and fun, and an experience that is unforgettable for racers and spectators alike.
The 2021 US Madison National Championships will mark the beginnings of a new era in track cycling in the United States, with real incentive to devote the time and energy in riders’ pursuits to don the nation’s colors in such an historic discipline of cycling. Through at least 2025, the Lexus Velodrome will host this prestigious event, crowning twenty National Champions across Elite and Junior, and Women’s and Men’s competition.
