Sunday: Commerce Bank Triple Crown Race

Philadelphia has a long tradition as a city that embraces sport and on June 10th residents will once again welcome back a bicycle race that captures the interest, ignites the imagination and fires the motivation of the City, state, nation and world. The Commerce Bank Philadelphia International Championship will return for the 23rd edition of North America’s most important single-day bicycle race.

The Commerce Bank Philadelphia International Championship is the final race of the Commerce Bank Triple Crown of Cycling Series which also includes professional races and a host of cycling and community events in Lancaster, PA on June 3rd and Reading, PA on June 7th. Each race will have an individual winner, but points will be awarded to the top placing riders in each race with double points up for grabs on Sunday in Philadelphia. The rider accumulating the most points at the end of the Series will take home a $10,000 bonus as part of the more than $130,000 in prize money to be granted. cont.
