EF, Lidl-Trek among teams announced for Philly Classic reboot
The reboot of the Philly Classic, long one of the United States' premier one-day road races, will include major pro teams, including EF-Education First, Lidl-Trek, and Canyon-SRAM zondacrypto.
The race returns after a 10-year hiatus and will take place on August 30. The 60-mile (100 km) women's race kicks off at 8:30 am and the 120-mile (200 km) men's race starts at 12:30 pm. Both utilize the old 14.4-mile (23 km) Philly Classic course with only minimal modifications, including the icons: the 17% climb up the Manayunk Wall, Lemon Hill, and the start/finish on Benjamin Franklin Parkway.
Both races will be categorized as UCI 1.1s, and, between the two races, will include six WorldTour teams as well as top domestic programs.
