I'm glad to see that at least three riders are from the USA. However the USA needs to send more riders to world cup events to gain experience and to qualify riders for the 2016 Oympics.
 
Very nice moment when the very knowledgeable and respectful
Manchester crowd gave (the German-born Austrian) Andreas
Muller a standing ovation in appreciation of a magnificent long,
solo breakaway that ended with a slim victory over the Italian
Elia Viviani and a small group of chasers in the 15km. scratch
race. The applause was (almost?) as loud as it was for any of
the British victories.
