Whole Athletes Soar at Home and Abroad

Christopher Blevins continues to shine this season with a huge victory at the Course de la Paix Juniors road stage race in the Czech Republic. Racing for Team USA, Blevins rode a consistently strong and tactically savvy race to take home the win in the prestigious UCI Nation's Cup event, also qualifying him to the 2016 Road World Championship Team.

Simmons took the win in a four-person Junior relay team at the 12-Hours of Mesa Verde in Colorado, while Johnson was the top Junior with 2nd overall in the Pro/Elite Soldier Mountain XC in Utah.
