    Bike Racing Safety, Salt Lake, & Dairylands 2024 LIVE POD

    A couple horrific crashes lately have started a new conversation about safety, especially barricades. Legion of LA's Ty Magner's post on IG seems to have broad support from elite riders, but what possible solutions are out there? In other news, we had some exciting racing (that we couldn't watch) at TOAD and one absolute shocker at Salt Lake Crit. The ACC is half over! We're getting into it LIVE on The American Peloton.

    Tough Tulsa For the Big Teams

    We went to Tulsa Tough 2024! Awesome racing to kick off the 2024 ACC. On the men's side we had huge rides from some smaller squads/individual riders like Luke Lamperti, Michael Garrison, Clever Martinez. Tough weekend for the teams we would have called the favorites going in (Legion of LA, Blazers, Reign Storm). Some of that was due to the chaos and crashes Tulsa is known for. On the women's side we had some totally different racing dynamics. Everyone wanted in the break, but no one wanted to work, except LA Sweat. If your maiden name isn't Schneider or Ryan, it's going to be an uphill battle in a bunch kick this year so it was surprising others weren't more committed to a small move. We're getting into it all this week, LIVE on The American Peloton.

    Are American Crits More Entertaining Than the '24 Giro? USA Crits/Speedweek/Nats LIVE POD

    Racing is in FULL SWING here in the USA. We've got crits. We've got stage races. We've got nationals. Jonathan and Ben were out at Speedweek and saw some of the most exciting and dynamic races of the 24 season. We'll talk through the shocks and revelations from all the post NCL collapse racing in America. Is it the end of the Legion of LA era? Did Ribble Rebellion disrupt the global crit scene? Is Reign Storm the best crit team, even though Project Echelon swept the nats podium???? We're getting into it LIVE on The American Peloton.
