North American Wrap: Specialized-lululemon dominates Vargarda World Cup

All eyes are on the Vuelta a España, which typically marks the start of the final stretch of the road racing season that also includes some end-of-summer and fall one-day events, shorter stage races and the world championships. The spotlight was also on the North American racing scene at events like the Tour of Utah, won by Tom Danielson (Garmin-Sharp), and the USA Pro Challenge in Colorado, won by Tejay van Garderen (BMC). The attention will shift to the upcoming Tour of Alberta, the double WorldTour events in Québec City and Montreal, and the Bucks County Classic in Pennsylvania. It is also the wind down to the USA Cycling’s National Criterium Calendar (NCC) and the National Racing Calendar (NRC). Check out a few of the other highlights from the peloton last week and a peek at what’s ahead.
