The event began with the Team Qualifier at Bearings Bike Works on Saturday, where families and fans gathered to revel in an atmosphere of community spirit and excitement. Food trucks, games, and riveting street sprints set the stage for the much-anticipated final.
Sunday's race at the Porsche Experience Center Atlanta Driver Development Track hosted ten co-ed teams of professional cyclists, with Miami Nights and the Denver Disruptors dominating the series until a stirring resurgence by the Fount Cycling Guild. In the end, it was the Miami Nights who emerged victorious, with standout individual performances from Clever Martinez and Alia Shafi.
Reflecting on the success of the event, NCL CEO Andrea Pagnanelli stated, "The essence of the NCL isn't just about racing. It's about pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the sport. This weekend brought the community together to do just that, and we couldn't be prouder of everyone who participated."
The event also served a charitable purpose, with proceeds from the NCL Cup Atlanta going directly to Bearings Bike Works, a local full-service bike shop providing both cycling services and workforce training opportunities for the youth of Southwest Atlanta.
The weekend's success demonstrated the NCL's ongoing commitment to innovation, gender equality, and community engagement, reaffirming its mission to revitalize the U.S. cycling scene and attract a broader audience.
