    Didn't realise Bagdonas won his nationals. Good on him.

    I thought Timmy Duggan won the US road race a couple of weeks ago?

    Wild!
    So Timmy's US Pro title isn't the Elite title? I always knew they had the US Pro race at a different time so that they could get the European-based riders but I never realised they had a separate Elite race for, er, non elite riders. Some knowledge of US cycling politics required, methinks. Anyone know?

    Yeah I'm not 100% sure who wears the US champions jersey?

    Duggan will, again no understanding of the US system but previous winners of the pro race wear the champs jersey.

    Elite jersey is for cat 1 non-pros and U23 pros riding for ProConti or Conti.
    Pro jersey is for ProTour, and non-U23 ProConti and Conti.

    Confusing, isn't it?
