Phinney gets spot on road team for London Olympics

Taylor Phinney was admittedly heartbroken when the individual pursuit, his signature event on the track, was scrapped from the cycling program for the London Olympics. Perhaps more than anything, it was that performance in Italy last month that wrapped up the 21-year-old Phinney's spot in the Olympic time trial and road race. Newly crowned road national champion Timmy Duggan, promising youngster Tejay van Garderen and sprinter Tyler Farrar made the team along with veteran rider Chris Horner. The son of Olympic medalists Davis Phinney and Connie Carpenter-Phinney, Taylor had emerged as one of the best individual pursuit riders in the world, and would have been among the favorites in the event had the IOC not scrapped it when it overhauled the track cycling program. Georgia Gould qualified for the women's team by ranking in the top 10 in the World Cup standings, and will be joined by Lea Davison in the competition. Each member of the team is deserving, we're proud to welcome them as a part of Team USA and look forward to a promising Olympic Games.
