The Tucson Bicycle Classic has one of those unfortunate acronyms that makes it hard to tell if the race date has been finalized. It’s also one of those legendary early-season American races where legs are tested, winter base miles are exposed, and tan lines are established.
So while it all may appear TBC, one thing that is definitely confirmed is the return of Verge Sport as the official leader jersey sponsor for the 2026 edition. This, astoundingly, is the 38th edition, and runs from February 27 to March 1.
Verge is a staple in the custom kit game, known for turning around orders faster than a u-turn at a crit race (and with fewer crashes). So, if you are heading to Arizona later this month to race, the prize isn’t just glory: it’s also a piece of high-performance polyester.
