A well desered win for a solid rider and a nice guy! BRAVO!


4th place isn't a win... even if he gets the jersey for the next year.

Yeah, look how the europeans creamed the americans in their own
championship race. There was something about this in VeloNews some
while back, making the National Championship race USA riders only.

The US riders made up nearly 50% of the top 30 finishers. It is true than
most of the DNFs were US riders. But,consider also that some of the
allegely best US riders were not in Philadelphia. Perhaps it's time to move
the championship to the week the Euro championshpis are held and make it an
all american event. This has been discussed here at length before. No easy
answer.


How many other countries allow international riders in their championship?
