Sean Quinn (EF Education-Easypost) claimed victory at the elite men's road race at the USA Cycling Road National Championships in Charleston, West Virginia, just beating Brandon McNulty (UAE Team Emirates) over the line in the tightest of finishes.
Neilson Powless (EF Education-Easypost) came third from the lead group of three after having made McNulty repeatedly chase his attacks on the run toward the line as his teammate, Quinn, sat in the wheel and readied for a sprint.
“Brandon was so so strong just bringing us back time and time again and then around the last climb I was starting to think realistically he looks pretty tired, I really think I can win a sprint," said McNulty in the post race interview broadcast on FloSports. "So Neilson just attacked him, like, I don’t know 10 times, and I left it a little bit late in the bike throw, I probably should have gone a little earlier ...”
