“Are you going to the Global Champions Tour stop in Miami?” If you answer “Yes” to this question, you’re one of the fortunate few. If you answered “No”, prepare for a serious case of FOMO. (Fear of Missing Out, for the old folks.) Because the rider list is LIT.

This list includes eight of the world’s top ten riders, a veritable sea of Olympic veterans, and our recently crowned king of the indoors, McLain Ward.
American queen of our hearts and team member of Miami Glory for the Global Champions League Georgina Bloomberg will be on hand again this year for the stop after a tremendous finish last year, and couldn’t say enough good things about it.
“Miami is unique and special to American riders because it’s the only US Global Champions Tour stop. It’s a beautiful setting and it gives spectators who don’t usually get the chance to see our sport be exposed to it. It’s rare that we get to ride so close to the ocean and have people wandering by and maybe stopping to check it out. It’s a special place to ride and between the setting and the importance of the competition, it has established itself as one of the premier shows in the world.”
What we’re trying to say is, if you’re bored and within a 10 hour drive of Miami this weekend, cure your FOMO with a trip to Miami for the most stunning stop on the tour. (It’s free, after all!)
Go Miami, and go jumping.
