On Tap...

The USA Elite Track National Championships, which began on Wednesday, wrap up this weekend. The first two National Championship jerseys went to Taylor Phinney and Michael Blatchford, winners of the Kilo and 250-Meter Time Trial, respectively. Phinney, riding in his Garmin-Chipotle gear for perhaps the last time, beat the next closest competitor by more than 2 seconds. He is slated to ride for Astana’s U23 team in 2009.

Several more jerseys will be awarded today to both the men and women.

October 3 - Men: Individual pursuit, Sprint semifinal, final, Scratch race final; Women: Individual pursuit, Keirin, Scratch race final
