| dbo:abstract | The Twilight Series is an annual road cycling race that takes place in the spring in Athens, Georgia, United States, since 1980. During the course of each Twilight weekend, competitive events in a variety of fields are staged, including BMX racing and trick contests, a Kids' Criterium, a mountain bike or 'Fat Tire' Criterium, and the climactic event of the weekend, the Twilight Criterium. The weekend event features amateur and professional races, with differing prizes for each. The Twilight Criterium itself is the most publicized and highly anticipated of each Twilight weekend. It is a professional race that takes place on a 1 km (.621 mile) course in downtown Athens. The entire race requires cyclists to endure 80 km (49.71 miles) within just a few hours. The main criterium features cash prizes totaling more than $US10,000. (en) L'Athens Twilight Criterium est une course cycliste américaine disputée à Athens, dans l'État de Géorgie. Épreuve réputée du calendrier national, elle est élue à plusieurs reprises meilleur critérium américain de la saison par plusieurs magazines et sondages cyclistes du pays. Elle est créée en 1980 sur l'initiative de Gene Dixon, ancien cycliste amateur et gérant d'un magasin de cycles durant les années 1970, sous la forme d'un critérium cycliste organisée en nocturne, une première dans l'histoire du pays. L'édition 2020 est annulée en raison du contexte sanitaire lié à la pandémie de Covid-19. (fr) |
