State of the nation: Analysing USA Cycling’s 2024 Road World Championships teams

Tadej Pogačar (Slovenia) and Remco Evenepoel (Belgium) might be the overwhelming favourites for the elite men’s rainbow jersey at the UCI Road World Championships, but USA Cycling has put together a diverse team of talent including Olympic gold medalist Kristen Faulkner with real chances to win titles in other fields. 

History

The United States has a very short list of elite men’s world champions, with Greg LeMond winning two – the first in 1983 when he soloed to victory in Altenrhein, Switzerland, and a second in 1989 in Chambéry, France. He also was second in 1982 and 1985.
