TD Bank Triple Crown of Cycling

The TD Bank Triple Crown of Cycling, formerly known as the Commerce Bank Triple Crown of Cycling, was a three-race series of road bicycle racing events held in the United States that ran from 2006-2008. The series consisted of the Lancaster Classic, the Reading Classic, and the Philadelphia International Cycling Classic, held over a week, with a race formerly held in Trenton, New Jersey.[1] They were part of the UCI America Tour and the series winner earned a $10,000 prize.[2][3]

After the 2008 edition, the Triple Crown ended and only the Philadelphia race remained.[4] As of 2017, none of these events remain, but Reading, Pennsylvania now hosts The Reading 120, formerly the Bucks County Classic, that is part of the UCI America Tour.[5][6]
