'Dale Posted September 28, 2014 Share ???????? Alex Howes (USA) is at the back of the peloton. For some he is an outsider for a medal today. Also in the USA team are Andrew Talansky and Tejay van Garderen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Australians, French and Germans have the firepower and the sprinters to make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
