Strade Bianche 24: Going Again

The clearly American Quinn Simmons (Lidl-Trek) attacked the peloton shortly after it had pulled him back a few kilometers earlier.  The early kilometers were noteworthy for the number of failed break away attempts.  It seems that the peloton was not interested in letting anyone get a gap.  So even with 90 kilometers left to go, they only let the USA Champion get a few seconds before pulling him back, yet again.

Tour de France 23, Stage 4: An American in France

The newly honored road champion of the USA, Quinn Simmons (Lidl-Trek) looks back for his team car during the middle section of Stage 4 of the Tour.  Simmons will be called upon shortly to rev up the pace at the intermediate sprint for his teammate Mads Pedersen.  He would again drop off the pace inorder to go back to pace setting for the finale.  Just ahead of the American champion, Aurelien Paret-Peintre (Ag2r-Citroen) was scurrying to get back onto the tail of the group as the pace began to increase.

Tour of California, Stage 6: Sprinting Home

Andrew Talansky (Cannondale) must have been given wings by his Stars and Stripes jersey of USA Time Trial Champion.  Talansky was able to just nip the time of his country man, Taylor Phinney (BMC) briefly taking over the lead on the day.  Unfortunately for the American Champion, the Australian Champion was still out on the road.  By the end of the day, Talansky had to settle for second place on the day, but it did help move him up on the general classification.
