American rider
Brandon McNulty is the latest from the team to opt-out of the World Championships in Wollongong, Australia. His reasoning is fatigue from Vuelta a Espana will not allow him to give it his best.
His withdrawal is a big blow to the American team, especially since his climbing abilities could have landed the team a victory in Wollongong. With McNulty and
Quinn Simmons's spots left, the team has decided to continue with
Scott McGill and
Keegan Swenson.
