If youre already one of the best in very good international races then maybe you will be a pro in the future! If not, you can dream on hehe! In most cases its like that here in europe! I dont know how the things are in N.America..
And you must accept a lot of things if you want to be a pro, a lot of things you dont like too..

Our country is small so we dont have a lot of races! There are 13 races of our national cup and some other races, so about 20 (if) for junior category! But Italy is very close to us and there are plenty of races every weekend! Its very good to have the first cycling country in the world for the neighbour
There is another problem..without chemistry, you cant be good Pro or even you cant become Pro..
So you are 86 generation too! How is your cycling?
Heh its the same with me, I would like to become a Pro cyclist, but Im too late for that! I started the last year in junior category and if you dont have good results its very hard to come to U-23 team! And U-23 its just the beginning! If you want to become a Pro, you must be very good in U-23 and that is very, very hard!gould86 said:

Same story with me!- 86 generation, started last year as a junior. Since I started last year only, I'm hoping I haven't yet come close to my potential. I'm thinking a good idea would be to race for university, and see where that can take me... Too bad there aren't any cycling scholarships that I know of in N.America. Does anyone else know anything about a scholarship? How about in Europe? That would be a great way to focus on racing, all the while building a career in case the dream doesn't materialize.Virenque said:Our country is small so we dont have a lot of races!

Gould, that would also be a great way (living at school) for you to get into racing if there isn't much racing near you. Where do you live?
Hey dave is there a North America Institute of Sport? If there is they would probly have cycling as one of theirs sports. Here in Australia the AIS (Australian Institution of Sport) accecpt applications for scholarships each year. But to apply for one you have to be competing at a national chapionship level.
Thats about all i know. hehe now i cant wait to get up to national level!

In Europe you ride for a club, universities have just amateur teams (if)! So the only way is to have the licence of one club and if youre good, you are in the team (max. around 10 riders in our club), club gives you all (bike, equipment, ..) and you get a pay too (depends of your results)! But as I said before, its not easy to be so good to be in the team! Then you have just a licence and you must go to races by yourself, you dont have a club bike, you must pay for jersey and shorts and so on! Its like that here..racer dave said:
I have dreams of becomming very active in cycling. To compete at a regional or national level would be awesome. My goal for next year is to be Cat 3 or 2 by the end of the season. I am also planning to compete in a couple national and international events such as the Murysville Cycling Classic, Tour de Toona (international), and the Park City Cycling Festival. I just want to win as many races as i can next year and start placing high in the U23 categorys
My dream may not be to become pro, but rather to always be doing what i love; which is racing bikes. If i ever do get a chance to be pro, even a cheap payed pro i'd drop what i was doing for it in an instance. I'll just go my max and see where it takes me, but whereever it is it's all good no regrets just good times.
