Team Composition:

Teams must consist of a minimum of 4 riders and a maximum of 15 riders per team, per gender. All riders on a roster must meet the required category restrictions (Men: Cat 1, Women: Cat 1/2) at the time the application is received. NO EXCEPTIONS. There is no age restriction for riders on DETs.

USA Teams
- 50% of the riders on the team roster must be USA citizens with a USA sporting nationality. If a team is registering both a men's and women's team, 50% applies to both genders.
Foreign Teams
- Less than 50% of the riders on the team's roster are USA Citizens with a USA sporting nationality. If a team is registering both a men's and women's team, this would apply to both genders. For example, Team A wants to regitster a men's and women's team. The men's team consists of at least 50% of the riders as USA Citizens with a USA sporting nationality, where the women's team has only one rider meeting the criteria and the rest are foreign riders. The overall team would be considered a Foreign Team and would pay a Foreign Team fee* on top of their registration fee.
- Foreign UCI Continental or the equivalent of a DET, must register with USA Cycling as a DET to be eligible for National Series rankings.

Foreign riders registered on and Domestic Elite Team rosters must be current in the UCI DataRide system, indicating they hold a current license with their country's federation.

Application Process:

Applications for Domestic Elite Teams will be accepted beginning December 1 - January 15, 2025 using the following link: DET Registration Link.
Please be sure to complete your application prior to submitting it, as you will not be able to go back in and pick up where you left off to complete it.
Teams approved as a DET will be notified as soon as possible and no later than the end of January. Incomplete applications will not be reviewed for inclusion until all requirements are met.
Teams not registered by the above date may still be considered for DET status but will be required to pay a late fee of $150 in addition to the registration fees.

Addition of Riders:

Once the initial DET applications are processed, riders may be added to the roster by completing the Add Rider form. The fee for each occurrence is $25. All riders added to the roster must still meet the team composition guidelines as it pertains to category, sporting nationality, and number of riders.

Riders added after March 1 will not be considered eligible for US Pro Road Nationals, regardless of whether the team was selected to participate.

Team Managers:

Each team must have a designated team manager that meets the following criteria:

Team Managers must be current on SafeSport training, have a current Criminal Background Check, and Motor Vehicle Report (MVR) through USA Cycling at the time the DET application is received.
SafeSport training is required every year. Criminal Background Checks and Motor Vehicle Reports are good for two years.
Team Managers must have a UCI ID. If a UCI ID is not listed on their USAC account, they must provide proof of citizenship (current passport or birth certificate) to complete the requirements for the UCI Support License.

To verify expiration dates of SafeSport, Criminal Background Check, and Motor Vehicle Report (MVR), Team Managers should log on to their USA Cycling account and go to the Membership link (gray bar) where they will find an expiration for each. If any are needed, click on the renew link under each one. Please note, the background check and MVR will take about 3-5 days to complete.
