Intelligentsia Cup is a 10-day crit racing series set in and around Chicagoland. The stages are different each day, offering new challenges and a daily opportunity for an epic win, and an excellent experience overall.
Each stage is designed with spectators in mind because crits are fun and exciting to watch! As a spectator you will be close to the action – the failures, the triumphs… and yes, the crashes.
