United States National Time Trial Championships

The United States National Time Trial Championships are held annually to decide the American champions in this cycling discipline, across various age and gender categories.

The winners of each event are awarded with a symbolic cycling jersey which is red, white and blue, just like the national flag, these colors can be worn by the rider at other time trialling events in the country to show their status as national champion.

The champion's stripes can be combined into a sponsored rider's team kit design for this purpose.

In the past, professional riders were included in the United States Cycling Federation's Elite Men's National Time Trial Championship event.

This introduction of a professional championship is contrary to the development of the sport in many other countries, in Great Britain for example, separate championships for amateur and professional riders were scrapped in the early nineties, this allowed many unsponsored riders to gain recognition by competing directly against their sponsored counterparts.
