Last week’s Redlands Bicycle Classic lifted curtain on the US domestic road scene for many teams and 2016 season promises to be one of the most important and exciting years for American racing in years with a number of high-level pros at the top of the sport, the Olympic Games on the horizon and challenges both abroad and at home for riders, race organisers and the sport in general.
Over the coming days Cyclingnews will run a number of interviews, features and opinion pieces looking at the state of professional cycling - both in the men’s and womens’ pelotons.
We start with legendary rider Davis Phinney, and the former 7-Eleven rider picking his cycling dream team. It’s not an all-American affair but the Tour de France stage winning sprinter picks a squad of nine that could have competed over a number of terrains.

The Cyclingnews team will also preview the year’s domestic teams, race calendars the hopes ahead of the Olympic Games in Rio, and much, much more.
