Men's Road Race - USA Results Team USA will ride mid-pack the whole race, half will drop out, and no one will finish in the top 20. A typical result.

Wow - is it really that bad to have televised coverage of races? For all those that are *****ing about it - either turn down the sound or switch to "American Idol." Problem solved. I, for one, am grateful to be able to watch the races I am not able to attend in person.
