Since its inception in 1999, the BMC Software Cycling Grand Prix continues to be a highlight throughout the year for not only its employees, but for cycling fans and enthusiasts around the country. 

The BMC Cycling Grand Prix is a series of four races within the Saturn USPRO Cycling Tour, a 17-event cycling tour, linking professional cycling races with a definitive professional points series. At stake in the BMC Cycling Grand Prix, in addition to Saturn USPRO points, is a purse of $250,000 to the cyclist who wins all four BMC Grand Prix events.

The 2001 BMC Software Grand Prix marks the third year in a five-year commitment to bring professional cycling to BMC’s four largest employment bases in the U.S. 

A Perfect Match

Winning in the world of professional cycling means you have to compete in numerous races, under all kinds of conditions and in all parts of the world. Championship riders have to possess tremendous physical skills and endurance as well as the mental presence and race savvy to pace themselves through a lengthy race or series of races so that they'll have the reserves necessary to cross the finish line in front.

Winning in the world of business mirrors that effort and being a leader in the high-technology world for almost twenty years is a testament to BMC Software's understanding of the marketplace and ability to pace ourselves in an industrial sector that runs at light speed. We develop the best products because we've hired the best people and given them the tools and training they need as well as a fun and productive atmosphere to thrive in. The fact that BMC Software was rated on Fortune magazine's list of the 100 best places to work in America for the past two years tells us that we're doing things right for our employees.

Now, by teaming with USA Cycling, the national governing body for the sport of cycling, we believe we've joined a world that not only shares our core values but will help us give back to the communities where we're located.
