With less than a month until the UCI Road World Championships, Team USA has announced its riders, including Neilson Powless, Kristen Faulkner, Brandon McNulty, and Veronica Ewers.
The team has carefully picked a 24-member team in hopes of victory. Even USA Cycling’s director is confident in the selection. “The results we’ve seen from the Americans this year have been incredible. The team is looking strong and will fare well on this dynamic course,” said Michael Sayers.
Although the team has decided to participate with just five riders. Powless, McNulty, and Magnus Sheffield will work together to secure the Men Road race, with Lawson Craddock and Kyle Murphy providing some strong support. Sheffield and Craddock will also contest the individual time trial.
The women's team is looking stronger than ever with the presence of Kristen Faulkner and Veronica Ewers. Faulkner claimed two stage wins and 11th overall at the Giro d’Italia Donne in July, while Ewers finished ninth overall at the Tour de France Femmes a few weeks later.
Coryn Labecki will be responsible for sprints and attacks. Krista Doebel-Hickok, Leah Thomas, Emma Langley, and Skylar Schneider will provide crucial support to the team.

- I see (elsewhere) that Alaphilippe had more to say than what got relayed in this stub. Me: he was very good early but his latter third trajectory was the pits. His old boss did what he could (huffed and puffed) but Julian couldn't get his greatness back. Sometimes I wonder if crashes that didn't look like much changed the course of the rider.flyer14-11-2026
- I wouldn't classify it as a gift because the nasty consequences of taking it from Sepp would have been great and would persist and he knew it.flyer14-11-2026
- Ok. Tratnik's good and Red Bull's better so Tratnik may get what he wants.flyer14-11-2026
- Ok. So just saying he wasn't enjoying racing anymore is some kind of explanation? Me saying I don't enjoy his explanation is more explaining than he did.flyer14-11-2026
- Buitrago, was he their best rider in 2026? He's the chief loss for them and Martinez and Tiberi (especially) have to step up or they will be overtaken by Bahrain's younger riders like Omrzel. I'm still somewhat high on Martinez but Tiberi, after showing signs of promise, has fizzled. Bahrain still has a good team but they need to improve and exceed expectations. I'd be happy if Mohoric could manage to return to his better form for maybe one last year at least.flyer14-11-2026
- Hmmm, "... I just gained 30 seconds purely off the bike. Because it's really a big, big improvement compared to the previous bike". Is that marketing for Specialized or serious valid hype, or something in between? Very likely the former.flyer14-11-2026
- Nothing revelatory or controversial. Why do we have to report on Bruyneel's or Armstrong's thinking. It's a shame and enough that the Move's on TV and that people watch it .flyer14-11-2026
- Makes sense that training from home is a big asset or advantage but it's still remarkable that he can put in three quality majors and not pay some heavy price for the exertion. I wish he would have won that tour stage that his crash while leading allowed Carapaz the win. He's a darn good rider and teammate.flyer14-11-2026
- Sounds like we all agree with the over under exaggeration: "The German’s signing does not guarantee that Evenepoel will win the Tour in 2027. "flyer14-11-2026
- Seixas appears to be that good but if he isn't (an absolute rival to Pogacar) he would have plenty of company in rising stars that did not go on to fully meet the expectations of many. That Pogacar wasn't the greatest (as great) sooner can't be transposed onto another's development. It may be not that simple.flyer14-11-2026
