How'd they arrange this? Doesn't one normally have to have a pro license in order to compete in a pro event? And by that, the individual would at least have to be a Cat 1 to qualify for that.

Not clearly wrong. A few years ago anyone of any category could buy a Pro license but over the last couple of years people have needed to be a Cat 1 in order to get a Pro license. When this first started there was a bunch of people pushing to get Ct 1 upgrades so they could be on various domestic Pro teams.

I am aware of AT LEAST one cat 2 who turned pro in the past couple of years...I'm sure there are more.
The rules provide that if a pro team signs a rider then the sanctioning body (USAC in this case) licenses the rider at the level necessary to ride with that team. Best, Bill Black

There was a current Cat 3 in the Tour of Utah who the race announcer was tagging (not tapping!) for a pro contract next year.
