The USA Cycling Professional Road Race Championship, a one-day road race which began in 1985, was previously held in Philadelphia, Penn. The event has moved to Greenville, S.C. in 2006. That same year USA Cycling changed the rules for entry into the road race field for professionals. All competitors were required to be U.S. citizens, as well as to be members of UCI-registered trade teams. Previously, the event was open to both American and international professional riders, the first rider from the United States that crosses the finish line was considered the "United States National Road Race Champion" and had the right to wear the national champion's jersey.
