Kyle Murphy (Human Powered Health) won the men’s road race title at the USA Cycling Pro Road Championships in Knoxville, Tennessee on Sunday.
Tyler Stites (Project Echelon) came around Magnus Sheffield (Ineos Grenadiers) to take the silver, while Sheffield held for bronze, the duo finishing three seconds back.
Murphy, the bronze medalist in 2021, hit out with 3km to go and went into time trial mode for the solo victory, winning in a time of 4:27:48.
It was an exciting adventure for the breakaway that led the majority of the 186km (115.6 mile) race. Among a foursome from the original seven-rider breakaway that looked set to hold a 45-second lead on the final lap was Kent Ross (Wildlife Pro Cycling), Gavin Mannion and Ben King for Human Powered Health, Hugo Scala, Jr (Project Echelon Racing). King would lead the chase group across the line for fourth.
More to come.
