McNulty Breaks 33-Year Drought for USA Cycling in Montreal

Brandon McNulty won the 2026 UCI Road World Championships men's road race in Montreal, becoming the first American to claim the title since Lance Armstrong in 1993. The 28-year-old rider from Phoenix, Arizona, finished 13 seconds ahead of the chasing pack after a 273.4 km course that included 12 laps of a challenging circuit. His victory was the result of a coordinated team strategy by the USA squad, which prioritized collective success over individual glory. Matteo Jorgenson and Quinn Simmons executed key tactical roles, with Jorgenson neutralizing late attacks and Simmons following early breakaways. The race was notably open due to the absence of defending champion Tadej Pogačar, allowing multiple contenders to contest the lead before McNulty launched his decisive attack with 32 km remaining.
