Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Infobox".Template:Template other
The Tom Bamford Lancaster Classic was a professional road bicycle race held in late May or early June between 1992 and 2007 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA. With the exception of the first race, which was Script error: No such module "convert"., the Lancaster Classic covered about Script error: No such module "convert"..[1][2][3][4] Due to the "short, winding hills," it had a very low attrition rate, with 37% of starters finishing the race on average.[5][6] 2003's 14% attrition was lower than that of the 2021 Tour de France, in which 23% of starters finished.[7]
History
The race was established in part by Lancaster mayor Janice Stork, along with sponsor CoreStates Financial Corporation (and its acquisitions, Hamilton Bank, First Union, and Wachovia National Bank), in an attempt to revitalize the downtown area.[8]
The race underwent several name changes:
- CoreStates Hamilton Classic (1992-1996)[9][10]
- CoreStates Invitational (1997)[11]
- First Union Invitational (1998-2002)[12][13][14]
- Wachovia Lancaster Invitational (2003-2005)[15]
- Commerce Bank Tom Bamford Lancaster Classic (2006-2007)[16][17][18]
- Named in memory of a late CoreStates Hamilton Bank executive.[4][16]
It was part of the following tours:
- ICP Tour of America (1993-1996)[19][10][20]
- CoreStates USPRO Cycling Championship (1997)[11]
- First Union Cycling Series (1998-2002)[21][13][14][22]
- USPRO Saturn Tour (1999-2000)[23][24]
- USPRO Championship (2001)[25]
- Wachovia Cycling Series (2003-2005)[26][15][27][28]
- Wachovia USPRO Championship (2004-2005)[26][29][30]
- Commerce Bank Triple Crown of Cycling (first leg) (2006) [18][17][31]
- UCI America (2006)[32][16]
- US Cycling Pro Tour (2007)[33][1][31]
In 2006, two additional races were added: the women's and elite amateur men's race lasted for Script error: No such module "convert". and Script error: No such module "convert"., respectively, around a Script error: No such module "convert". circuit in downtown Lancaster.[1][18][34]
The Lancaster Classic ended abruptly after the 2007 event and was replaced by the Lehigh Valley Classic in nearby Allentown.[35]
