Taylor Phinney
Posted by Andy in News, Pro Cycling, Racing on April 4th, 2010
While the big boys of the pro tour have been tuning up for the season at events like Criterium International and, today, the Tour of Flanders, the young guns have been staging their own shoot-outs. Not uncharacteristically, Taylor Phinney of Trek-Livestrong has been slayin’ it.
Last week Taylor killed at the UCI Track World Championships, winning the men’s individual pursuit (yet again). Here’s a photo of his response to victory (note to viewers: get used to this pose).
As a follow-up to this victory, Taylor and team went to the Tryptique Monts et Chateaux, where after falling in the time trial (when he had a huge lead over everyone else) to finish 8 seconds down, he attacked the field near the end of the race and held on for the victory. Here’s a familiar pose:
Pretty sure we all need to get used to seeing Taylor in this pose at the ends of races. What a beast. Go USA and go Taylor Phinney!
Tour of Flanders!

Okay, now the racing season is really here. Bike racing is suffering, heartbreak, and perseverance through agony embodied. Few races on earth bring these realities home like the Tour of Flanders. The race will be shown on Versus at 5pm EDT on Sunday, April 4th. I cannot wait. Also, here’s maybe my favorite bike race promo EVAR:
Just Awesome.
Here’s a couple photos of the Team Radio Shack boys training on the TOF course in Belgium this week, taken by Johan Bruyneel.
