The Redlands Bicycle Classic presented by San Manual Band of Mission Indians returns for a 38th edition this week, continuing its prestige as the longest-running stage race for men and women in the United States. In 2024, the five-day event offers a new time trial course and a new mountain stage for pro fields which burgeon with an abundance of talent.

The men’s pro field features 26 teams, including two squads from Great Britain – Ribble Rebellion, featuring USA’s Cole Davis, and ThrivaSRCT-SignaturePayments.
