- National Cycling Championships
National cycling championships are held annually by host nations in each cycle racing discipline. In most cases, each nation holds its annual events in early June during a designed break in the professional calendar. Oceania nations, most notably Australia and New Zealand, hold their national championships in late January, while the United States hold its events in September prior to the UCI World Championships held in October.
In road racing, winning riders of national championships are crowned as:
* Men's Elite Road Race Champion
* Men's Elite Time Trial Champion
* Women's Road Race Champion
* Women's Time Trial Champion
* Men's Under-23 Road Race Champion
* Men's Under-23 Time Trial Champion
National champion cycling jersey
A national champion cycling jersey is a cycling jersey awarded to the winning riders of each event at the national cycling championships sponsored by the national governing body and recognized by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI). Each national champion cycling jersey is typically colored and styled after that country's national flag.
Riders are authorized to wear an awarded national champion cycling jersey until next year's national championship. Afterwards, past champions may wear the national flag colors around the neckline and arm bands.
