The UCI pro race is held together with GFNY’s 14th NYC edition

NEW YORK CITY, February 18, 2026 – Team Skyline has confirmed its participation in the third edition of Gran Premio New York City, returning to New York City on May 17, 2026 after producing last year’s race winner.

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,, with the professional field starting approximately ten minutes ahead of the mass-participation race. The two events are conducted as separate competitions under their respective regulations, sharing the same roads and infrastructure.

“GP NYC is a fun and rewarding race,” says team director Michael Tacci. “Last year, we won the race and placed two more riders in the top 15. We must defend the title.”

Further team announcements will be made in the coming weeks. Additional race information is available at gp.gfny.com.

New York City as the Stage

Founded in 2011, GFNY has grown into a global competitive structure culminating each year in New York City. Gran Premio New York City represents the professional expression of that structure and demonstrates how professional racing can take place alongside mass participation without mixing rules, fields, or objectives.

The Course

The 85-mile (137 km) course mimics a Belgian spring classic, favoring all-around riders with its challenging climbs and varied terrain. While waiting for their start on the George Washington Bridge, racers enjoy spectacular views of the NYC skyline and the Hudson River. The race continues through charming towns and scenic nature in Bergen County and Rockland County, with the excitement culminating in a finish and festival at Fort Lee, NJ—a convenient location close to NYC, airports, hotels, and highways.

More news to come

Further details regarding participating teams, course specifics, and race logistics will be announced in the coming months.

This structure—known as the GFNY Road to NYC—connects everyday racing with a clear and earned path to the World Championship. All GFNY races are fully timed and run with age-group classification. Events are open to a broad range of riders and combine accessible participation with a consistent competitive format.

GFNY’s long-standing “BE A PRO FOR A DAY®” concept reflects how its races are designed: standardized rules, professional-level timing, and racing against both the clock and direct competitors. GFNY manages its own global rider system, handling registration, results, rankings, and historical participation data directly across all events.

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 UCI pro race is held together with GFNY’s 14th NYC edition

NEW YORK CITY, February 11, 2026 – The third edition of Gran Premio New York City (GP NYC), will take place on May 17, 2026, bringing UCI-sanctioned professional road racing back to New York City on one of the most demanding one-day courses in North America. 

GP NYC is held on the same course and on the same day as the 14th Michelob ULTRA GFNY World Championship New York City, with the professional field starting approximately ten minutes ahead of the mass-participation race. The two events are conducted as separate competitions under their respective regulations, sharing the same roads and infrastructure.

“Gran Premio New York City is built on the idea that professional racing and open racing don’t have to exist in isolation,” said co-founder and CEO of GFNY Uli Fluhme.  “In other parts of the sport, including gravel, mixed-field formats are already a reality and are valued by teams, riders, and host cities. In New York City, we’re applying that principle step by step on the road, starting with proximity and building toward greater integration while maintaining sporting and operational integrity.”

GFNY Pro Series

The GFNY Pro Series is GFNY’s professional racing platform, built around an integrated Pro–Am format that combines UCI-sanctioned professional races with GFNY mass-participation events on the same courses and on the same weekend.

In the GFNY Pro Series, professional fields race minutes ahead of the GFNY mass peloton, delivering a shared race environment that maximizes visibility for teams, sponsors, and host communities while preserving clear competitive separation. This model allows professional racing to take place within fully secured road closures and established event infrastructure, creating efficiencies not available to standalone races.

The format was pioneered at Gran Premio New York City, where professional teams compete on the GFNY World Championship course shortly before the amateur start. GP NYC represents the original GFNY Pro–Am concept and serves as the blueprint for future Pro Series events.

The GFNY Pro Series is designed to expand selectively, with additional UCI-sanctioned races introduced only where local conditions, infrastructure, and funding support professional competition at a sustainable level. Scheduled events include Gran Premio Cozumel in conjunction with GFNY Cozumel, pending UCI approval.

GFNY is also evaluating the introduction of women’s professional racing within the Pro Series, beginning with a potential women’s race in New York City. This expansion would require extended road closures and additional operational resources, and is being developed in collaboration with partners committed to supporting the growth of women’s professional cycling.

Mercado and Reyes win the GFNY North American Championship

New York City, December 10, 2025 – Last Sunday, cyclists from around the world lined up for the inaugural edition of GFNY San Luis Potosí, that also served as the GFNY North American Championship, closing the 15th season of the GFNY Global Endurance Sports Series.

Riders faced a demanding 123 km long course with 1,900 meters of climbing, dominated by the iconic La Placa climb, which alone accounted for nearly 1,800 meters of elevation gain. 

The action exploded early. Within the first 15 kilometers, a powerful breakaway of eight strong riders formed, including José Miguel Reyes, runner-up at GFNY Zapopan 2023 champ Salvador Lemus, and Christopher Hans who was runner-up at GFNY Cozumel 2023. The group pushed hard into the main climb, where multiple attacks began to fracture the front of the race. Reyes was aggressive on the ascent, launching several decisive moves as the selection narrowed to four riders.

Midway up La Placa, Mercado delivered a solid attack that the other couldn´t match, his descent was fast, opening a gap of nearly two minutes over his closest rivals. He maintained his advantage and powered alone towards the finish line, entering the historic center of San Luis Potosí to roaring crowds before claiming an emphatic solo victory and the GFNY North American Championship title.  He finished the race in 2:52:21.  Behind him, the fight for the remaining podium places came down to a fierce sprint finish between Lemus and Hans who completed the podium.

In the women’s race, Nancy Mercado from Team Fugacoaching (Mexico) took the win in 03:20:45 followed by Sofia Rodriguez (Team Liv Mexico) and Annete Rivera, making it an all Mexican podium.

GFNY is looking ahead to season 16 which will bring yet again old classics and new races, including another UCI pro race, a full highway closure in Miami, national championships and much more.

The central Mexican city hosts the GFNY North American Championship

New York City, December 4, 2025 – This Sunday, cyclists from around the world will take on the inaugural edition of GFNY San Luis Potosí, the newest addition to the GFNY Global Endurance Sports Series. As the host of the GFNY North American Championship, the race features a demanding long course of 154.3 km with 2237 meters of climbing, offering athletes a true test of endurance and strategy.

 “When you combine a great and hugely supportive destination like San Luis Potosí with a GFNY produced by Daniela and Shaun Gad of GFNY Cozumel pedigree, magic is going to happen,” says GFNY CEO Uli Fluhme. “This inaugural event is the one a GFNY fan can not miss this year. And we’re adding a banger: the race winner gets to compete as part of Team GFNY Pro at the inaugural Gran Premio Cozumel UCI pro race.  It is scheduled to be held aside GFNY Cozumel on November 6 and follows the GP / GFNY concept of pros and amateurs racing the same day and course that was started in NYC in 2024.”
