Company info
La Roue d’Or, LLC, is a company licensed in Glendale, AZ (USA), and registered as a club with USA Cycling. We are dedicated to assisting sport event organizers, with a large emphasis on bicycle race promoters, to organize safe and successful events.
We also provide French/English translation services to worldwide organizers of international events.
Credentials
La Roue d'Or owners are USA Cycling (USAC)-certified referees.
Our manager, Boris Decourt, has long and extensive experience in cycling:
- started cycling competitions in France as a Junior;
- became referee in France in 1998, and provides organizers with computer registration/results and photo finish services since then;
- upgraded to National Commissaire in the USA, and obtained USAC certifications for track starter and secretary;
- has officiated numerous road, track and cyclo-cross events in France and in the USA, including USA criterium Nationals (Downers Grove, IL), USGP of cyclo-cross, Collegiate track Nationals, and US Pro ITT and Road Race Nationals;
- supervised Purdue University Cycling Club, IN, between 2006 and 2009;
- promoted stage (see Results page), road race, individual time trial, and cyclo-cross (see Results page) events in 2007 and 2008.
Missions
As indicated by its French name meaning “the golden wheel”, which refers to the gold medal awarded to the top position, La Roue d’Or, LLC, is committed to working with Local Associations, clubs and organizers to improve the number of USAC sanctioned events, and to help reaching the highest quality possible in the organization of existing and newly created races. And, whenever possible, La Roue d’Or will demonstrate its high professionalism through the organization of its own events.
Thanks to its LLC status, La Roue d’Or provides businesses with a unique opportunity to use cycling to advertise their brands (100% tax deductible as permitted by law).
Having seen many events in which rules were not respected, which made participants upset, we use our excellent knowledge of USAC and UCI regulations, and our smile, to offer an enjoyable racing experience to riders and organizers interacting with us.
The fees we charge are as low as possible. The money we earn is not to make a living but mostly to pay bills (internet, taxes, legal services...). The eventual profits will be reinvested in new equipment to increase our service portfolio, so that organizers need not acquiring expensive material they would use only a few times a year (cameras for photo finish, radios...). We are also open to sponsorship opportunities provided it benefits amateur sports at large.
