The International Road Cycling Challenge was a one-off, one-day bicycle race that served as one of six Brazilian events in the year-long 2015 UCI America Tour and acted as a test event for the 2016 Summer Olympics.{{cite web|url=http://www.aquecerio.com/en/road-cycling/|title=Home - Road Cycling|work=Aquece Rio - TEST EVENTS|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303181640/http://www.aquecerio.com/en/road-cycling/|archivedate=2016-03-03}} The race was rated a grade of 1.2 and was part of the "Aquece Rio" series of events.{{cite web|url=http://www.aquecerio.com/en/aquece-rio|title=Aquece Rio|work=Aquece Rio - TEST EVENTS|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150905180227/http://www.aquecerio.com/en/aquece-rio|archivedate=2015-09-05}} The race was run over most of the Olympic course. Most of the riders represented countries instead of trade teams; however, there were several, mainly Brazilian, trade teams in the race. The race was won by French cyclist Alexis Vuillermoz.{{cite web|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/news-shorts-vuillermoz-wins-rio-olympics-test-event/|title=News shorts: Vuillermoz wins Rio Olympics test event|author=Cycling News|work=Cyclingnews.com|date=17 August 2015 }}
