2025 Avout Racing Selects
Do You Dream of Cycling?
The Avout Racing Selects is a small group of passionate, competitive athletes aged fifteen to U23. Our mission is to set up our Selects athletes for the highest level of amateur competition and, ultimately, professional cycling once they leave the amateur ranks. We have crafted a program that includes full-service race support, individual training programs, building nutrition, psychological, and tactical knowledge of the sport, and racing as often as possible. The athletes selected for this program will be great representatives for cycling, including involvement in local cycling, volunteering in their local communities, and maintaining a high grade point average in school.
The Avout Racing Selects Gravel program is new for 2025. In addition to continuing our MTB and CX programs, we will ride and race at 4 to 5 gravel races across the country, including Unbound, STB GRVL, and USAC Gravel Nationals.
You can apply for an individual or program combining 2 or 3 disciplines.
Also new for 2025 are the full-support and race-support programs. Full-support athletes receive full support once they arrive at a race venue. That includes housing, meals, transportation, and all the usual race support available at the "Oasis," which includes shade, seats, food and drink, trainers, mechanics, bike wash, and race start and hand-up support. Race-support athletes receive all the usual race support noted here but will be responsible for their housing, meals, and transportation.
The Selects application process will be just that – selective. We want to assemble a strong group of juniors ready to take on the local and national stage. Do you have what it takes?
