The American Criterium Cup brings together many of the most prestigious criterium races in the United States. From packed downtown circuits to legendary cycling festivals, the series tests riders through high speeds, technical corners, aggressive tactics, and intense sprint finishes. Across six rounds, consistency matters just as much as a single victory, making its individual and team championships some of the most meaningful achievements in American criterium racing.
In our first full North American race season with L39ION of Los Angeles, Quick Pro was honored to help power and support the team throughout its remarkable American Criterium Cup campaign. Together, we celebrated a sweep of all four major titles: Men’s Overall, Women’s Overall, Men’s Team, and Women’s Team. We are incredibly proud to have played a part in this outstanding achievement during the first season of our partnership.
Tulsa Tough: We Arrived
The season began at Saint Francis Tulsa Tough, one of the most celebrated criterium events in the United States. Known for its three-day race festival, enormous crowds, and the unmistakable energy of Cry Baby Hill, Tulsa has been a cornerstone of the ACC since the series began in 2022.
Skylar Schneider opened L39ION’s campaign with a victory in the women’s ACC race. It was more than an opening-round win: it immediately established the team as a championship contender and gave the Quick Pro × L39ION partnership its first major ACC victory.
Milwaukee: Staying in the Fight
The Tour of America’s Dairyland brought the series to Wisconsin as part of an 11-day racing festival across 11 communities. At the ACC round, Skylar Schneider finished second, continuing to collect valuable points and defend her position at the top of the women’s standings.
The result demonstrated the consistency required to win a season-long championship. Every finish, every point, and every team effort contributed to what would follow.
Boise: We Took Over
The Bailey & Glasser LLP Boise Twilight Criterium delivered L39ION’s strongest single-round team performance of the season. Racing around the Idaho State Capitol in one of America’s most distinctive nighttime criteriums, L39ION controlled both the men’s and women’s competitions.
Tyler Williams launched a decisive late attack and held off the chase to win the men’s race. Justin Williams then won the field sprint for second, completing a commanding L39ION one-two finish. Shortly before, Skylar Schneider had powered past her rivals to win the women’s race.
Tyler Williams: Men’s P1
Justin Williams: Men’s P2
Skylar Schneider: Women’s P1
Three podium results and victories in both elite races made Boise the defining display of L39ION’s collective strength. It was speed, strategy, and commitment coming together on one unforgettable night.
Chicago: Momentum Builds
At the Fulton Market Grand Prix, part of the 10-day Chicago GRIT racing series, Skylar Schneider claimed another women’s victory. It was her third win in the opening four ACC rounds and further strengthened her position at the top of the championship.
Jim Brown finished second in the men’s race, while Justin Williams placed fourth and maintained his overall series lead. Holly Breck also delivered a strong performance in the intermediate sprints, taking the lead in the women’s sprint classification after Chicago.
With both individual leaders and both teams positioned at the front of the standings, L39ION entered the final part of the season with all four major titles within reach.
Salt Lake City: Justin Secures the Championship
At the penultimate round in Salt Lake City, Justin Williams delivered when the pressure was highest. L39ION took control on the final lap, positioning Justin for a powerful acceleration through the last corner. He opened a gap and sprinted to victory.
The result mathematically secured the Men’s ACC Overall Championship with one round remaining. In the women’s race, Skylar Schneider finished second and carried a 26-point advantage into the season finale.
Salt Lake City transformed a strong season into a championship season. One title was secured, while the remaining classifications moved closer to completion.
Gateway Cup: All Four
The championship concluded at the historic Giro della Montagna, part of the four-day Gateway Cup racing festival in St. Louis. As the final round of the ACC, it was where an entire season of victories, podiums, teamwork, and consistent results became official.
L39ION of Los Angeles completed the season with all four major titles:
- Justin Williams: Men’s Overall Champion
- Skylar Schneider: Women’s Overall Champion
- L39ION of Los Angeles: Men’s Team Champion
- L39ION of Los Angeles: Women’s Team Champion
From Skylar’s opening victory in Tulsa to the unforgettable sweep in Boise, Justin’s championship-clinching win in Salt Lake City, and the final celebration at Gateway, L39ION delivered a complete season.
First Season. All Four.
Winning one American Criterium Cup title requires speed and consistency. Winning all four requires an exceptional team.
Quick Pro is proud to have supported L39ION of Los Angeles throughout this landmark season. The riders competed with confidence, trusted one another under pressure, and delivered results across some of the most demanding and recognizable criterium races in North America.
Congratulations to every L39ION rider, team member, and supporter who contributed to this historic achievement. Our first full North American racing season together has set a powerful foundation, and we look forward to continuing our partnership, pursuing new challenges, and racing for even greater achievements together.
