Cycling

Simmons and Sheffield brought two new medals to the USA.
Last Monday, Quinn Simmons failed seven seconds of the bronze medal in the junior time trial. The American has recovered well, this Thursday, to go for the world title on road. "I did not have the legs I wanted in the time trial when I was really motivated for this event, I had something to prove and I think I did it", said Remco Evenepoel's successor after his success.

The 18-year-old did not steal his victory by winning alone with 56 seconds ahead of Italy's Alessio Martinelli and 1'33 '' over compatriot Magnus Sheffield. "That was pretty much the plan, we did not know exactly when we were going to leave, but we knew it would be me or Magnus on the final circuit, so I started and it may have worked a little earlier that we had planned "Quinn Simmons explained.

finally concluded after a good job of his selection. "I would not say that I knew I would become world champion, but I had a good feeling about this course and I had a very strong team.First, I want to thank all guys, they were on the front from kilometer zero, Magnus did the right thing and I just discovered he was sprinting for third place so it's a perfect day for our nation. ", detailed the 18-year-old runner.

This American demonstration allowed the United States to take the lead in the medal count.
