USA Cycling announced its road cycling teams for the UCI World Championships set to take place in Glasgow, Scotland in August.
Leading USA men team will be current polka dot holder at Tour de France - Neilson Powless. He will be accompanied by other strong classics riders such as Matteo Jorgenson, Quinn Simmons or Magnus Sheffield. The latter will also target success in a race against the clock together with Brandon McNulty.
USA Men elite lineup for World Championships:
Lawson Craddock, Matteo Jorgenson, Brandon McNulty (only time trial), Neilson Powless, Sean Quinn, Magnus Sheffield (both races) and Quinn Simmons
Women's team's biggest name is former World ITT Champion Chloé Dygert who will take on both races. Kristen Faulkner will be another ride to keep an eye on during the Time Trial, while Megan Jastrab will try to win the U23 title awarded to the best U23 finisher in elite race.
USA Women elite lineup for World Championships:
Chloé Dygert (both races), Veronica Ewers, Kristen Faulkner (only Time Trial), Heidi Franz, Megan Jastrab (U23), Coryn Labecki, Amber Neben (only Time Trial), Skylar Schneider and Lauren Stephens
United States will have a big favourite to take the rainbow stripes in U23 race with 20-years old sprinter Luke Lamperti. The Trinity Racing rider has already collected eight victories in 2023 and is heavily rumoured to be on his way to WT team next year.
USA Men U23 lineup for World Championships:
Evan Boyle (only Time Trial), Owen Cole, Luke Lamperti, Brody McDonald, Viggo Moore (only Time Trial), Artem Shmidt and Colby Simmons
Name of AJ August on USA's junior lineup will draw a lot of attention. The American talent has been linked to INEOS Grenadiers for quite a long time and while the young climber is probably not very happy with the parcours, he might be still able to put on a show regardless.

- many people advise him to grow slowly and rather do giro and/or vuelta instead of tdf. but i can totally understand that he is not satisfied with taking over once pogi declines, but instead beat him in his prime. so if he goes for tdf again, i‘m all for it. let‘s hope that pogi recovers soon!Ketterechts07-11-2026
- So gracious to offer something no-one would be prepared to pay for. The Giro is not the Tour and doesn’t command the same interest or attract the same “elite” (those willing to pay to be a part of something they consider has ego boosting potential). Roadside viewing will always largely remain free for everyone outside circuits. Introduction of a symbolic entrance to mountain climbs is worthy of exploration. Asking 1-2€ isn’t going to repulse real fans (most will spend 50-100€ on their outing that day all things included) but will prevent a portion of the total knobhead thrillseekers who will join in any large gathering as long as it’s free, just because they’re attracted to crowds, without which it it difficult for them to work up their anti-social behaviour.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- How is radio going to help when someone went over a cliff or bridge or off the roadside into a forest unnoticed and is laying there unconscious?Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- Yep, next we’ll be accusing F1 drivers of avoiding Le Mans.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- But on what is that opinion based? Are you holding him to a different standard than others? Are you saying he should do learn to like something he doesn’t Are you saying he hasn’t achieved enough Are you saying he pretends to be better than his results? It’s actually a really strange opinion to oust if you consider it objectively or rationally. Try applying it to others or yourself by asking if not EVERYONE should then be doing more? Nobody in athletics or swimming gets criticism for not expanding their repertoire when a rival or someone else does. In fact, most who move to another event get accused of running from their rival. Opinions are boring, the reasons behind them are what count.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- for a medical chief to throw things like is just bad. There are already radios which were banned for spectacle. allow radios. Gps trackers are not a complete solutionabstractengineer07-11-2026
- Yeah man...PogiSloFans07-11-2026
- any rider less than 25 whether they are really ready for the position of leadership of GT is probably not the case. I think Pogi himself suffered when he was defeated by Jonas in the TDF twice. But that would be the team's job to ensure support so that they can bounce back. It requires a team and time to get back up and win after getting knocked down.abstractengineer07-11-2026
- I'm very glad he got the big late Quickstep Vuelta win and I hope he has a few left for Euskaltel-Euskadi.flyer07-11-2026
