The state of road racing in the US has shifted significantly, with fewer UCI-sanctioned events and a rise in privateers. While big teams like UnitedHealthcare face challenges, the sport is not in decline. New talents are emerging, and top-performing athletes are achieving remarkable success across disciplines including road racing, mountain biking, and track. Former pro Gavin Mannion highlights the strength of US cycling, indicating that while the path to the WorldTour may have changed, the potential for success remains strong.
I think it's definitely an interesting place that US cycling is in. But yeah, I mean, just look at the results at the highest level, something's working.
It seems like we have the most high-performing athletes at the highest level of the sport than we ever had, on the men's and women's side on road, mountain bike, track, including the Olympic level. It seems like we're killing it.
