Team selections have been finalized by AEG, producer and presenter of the 2017 Amgen Tour of California (May 14-20) and the Amgen Breakaway from Heart Disease Women's Race empowered with SRAM (May 11-14).

America's most prestigious cycling event joins the UCI WorldTour this year with 11 WorldTour teams containing some of the world's most decorated cyclists, including first-ranked, California-based BMC Racing Team. Three Pro Continental and two Continental teams round out the event.

Amgen Tour of California veteran Mark Cavendish will return with Team Dimension Data. Cavendish turned in his tenth Amgen Tour of California career stage win last year before going on to win his first Olympic medal (silver in Omnium) and the opening stage plus three others in the 2016 Tour de France.

2016 women's race champion Megan Guarnier, a three-time National Champion, will return to California to defend her title with UCI's number-one ranked team after last season, Boels-Dolmans.
