The Future of American
Cycling Starts Now
One Race. One World. One Cycling.
The American Grand Cycling Tour is a new franchise-based Grand Tour built for the next generation of U.S. sports fans — professional road racing reimagined with the technology, storytelling and media model of the world's fastest-growing sports phenomena.
Why One Cycling Exists
One Community.
Every Rider.
94% of Americans know how to ride a bike. Only 6% follow professional cycling. Amateur riders, professional athletes, local clubs and fans have never had a platform that connects them — closing that gap is why One Cycling exists.
Riders Without a Bridge to Fandom
112 million Americans rode a bike in 2024 — yet only 6% follow professional racing. Not from lack of interest, but because nothing has ever connected participation to fandom.
Clubs Without a Stage
Tens of thousands of club members race and ride every weekend, most organized through little more than group chats and spreadsheets — with no leaderboard and no path to national recognition.
Fans Without a Home
Following U.S. professional cycling today means piecing together multiple streaming subscriptions at hundreds of dollars a year — and some races still can't legally be watched here at all.
Community Without a Calendar
The best gran fondos and races draw riders from dozens of countries for a single unforgettable weekend — then the community disappears until next year.
Mission
One Cycling unites America's cycling community — from first-time gran fondo riders to professional racers — through a year-round platform that connects clubs, powers fan engagement, and builds the infrastructure U.S. cycling has never had.
Vision
A United States where cycling's 112 million participants are also its most engaged fans — and where One Cycling is the platform and the community that made it possible.
“You really feel like part of a family here.”
On the feeling at a gran fondo finish line — the feeling One Cycling exists to make last all year, not just one weekend.
Why the U.S.
The Next Great American Sports Phenomenon
Cycling already commands a multi-billion-dollar global audience — but the United States has never had a Grand Tour of its own. The market, the athletes, and the technology are finally aligned.
How — SAAM
Sport As A Media
A franchise-based business built around a marquee event in the USA, with licensed tours extending across the Americas — creating a new ecosystem by leveraging technology and content creation rather than broadcast rights alone.
The Problem
What's Missing From
Cycling Today
Passive Viewing Experience
Too many riders, coverage that jumps around, and casual viewers who don't understand what matters — so they don't watch.
Technology Gap
While other sports embrace augmented reality and real-time data, cycling coverage remains largely stagnant.
Weak Community Support
Traditional broadcasts offer limited context, leading to low viewer retention and a generational disconnect.
Investment Blind Spot
Investors have not yet meaningfully monetized the sport in the U.S. — the opportunity remains wide open.
The Solution
Build The
Race Command Center
Not just another race. A live interface where fans choose who to follow, riders move like pieces on a board, and every stage becomes a participatory experience — content never stops.
- See the entire race map in real time
- Terrain, weather and elevation layered in live
- Every rider becomes his own channel
- Built like an NFL RedZone or fantasy-sports war room
“Instead of here's the race, it becomes who do you want to follow now?”
Why Now
Technology Momentum
VR / AR & Simulation
25% of U.S. sports fans already own a VR headset — immersive race coverage is ready for mainstream adoption.
Digital Sports Betting
U.S. sports betting revenue hit $11B in 2023 (+44.5% YoY), with in-play and micro-betting reshaping fan engagement.
Data Analytics
Just as the NFL and FIFA use RFID chips and GPS tracking to enrich fan experience, cycling's telemetry is built for it.
Drone & Aerial Tech
Global esports revenue topped $2.5B in 2024, projected to reach $7–8B by 2030 — proof that new-format sports content scales fast.
