A couple horrific crashes lately have started a new conversation about safety, especially barricades. Legion of LA's Ty Magner's post on IG seems to have broad support from elite riders, but what possible solutions are out there? In other news, we had some exciting racing (that we couldn't watch) at TOAD and one absolute shocker at Salt Lake Crit. The ACC is half over!

Tough Tulsa For the Big Teams

The American Peloton ·

2024/06/17

We went to Tulsa Tough 2024! Awesome racing to kick off the 2024 ACC. On the men's side we had huge rides from some smaller squads/individual riders like Luke Lamperti, Michael Garrison, Clever Martinez. Tough weekend for the teams we would have called the favorites going in (Legion of LA, Blazers, Reign Storm). Some of that was due to the chaos and crashes Tulsa is known for. On the women's side we had some totally different racing dynamics. Everyone wanted in the break, but no one wanted

2024/05/27

Racing is in FULL SWING here in the USA. We've got crits. We've got stage races. We've got nationals. Jonathan and Ben were out at Speedweek and saw some of the most exciting and dynamic races of the 24 season. We'll talk through the shocks and revelations from all the post NCL collapse racing in America. Is it the end of the Legion of LA era? Did Ribble Rebellion disrupt the global crit scene? Is Reign Storm the best crit team, even though Project Echelon swept the nats podium???

With that, the pre-season racing is over and REAL RACING IS HERE. Redlands this weekend on the West Coast, and Sunny King Crit opens up the USA Crits Series here in Alabama.

Cory Williams is headed from Legion of LA to the sister team of Miami Blazers. Does this shift the balance? Is this Blazers year? Meanwhile NCL teams Miami Nights and Denver Disruptors continue to strengthen their rosters after big cuts late last year. We're also talking about who's racing where!? NCL, ACC, USA Crits, CRIT.... it's a lot to untangle this season and teams are going to have to pick a focus.

It's the off-season and we're podcasting at z2 winter pace, but there's still somehow a ton to talk about in the world of American road bike racing. We go over the loss of GCN+ and what that means for watching European races in America, but also how our American races go out to the world. The USCX, NCL, Maryland Cycling Classic, they were all going out to cycling fans world wide on GCN+. Then we go over several transfers including what I would call the first top tier rider to defect

After her team B&B Hotels folded at the beginning of the year, she decided to put together her own racing calendar including a stint in America! She's got a really unique perspective on the state of

We've got to address the Justin Williams suspension fallout up top, because the responses have been UNHINGED. I feel like any discussion of Legion get flattened to "Legion good" vs "Legion bad", but there's way more nuance there. We all contain multitudes, and one crash doesn't negate all the good that's been done. I do want us to all look at this video and this controversy and think about what we can do in our own racing to make the sport safer, whether

Talk through some of the riders we've highlighted on the show that pulled results there.
