Taylor Phinney Wins U23 Paris-Roubaix

June 1, 2009 by David Longdon Leave a Comment

In case you missed it, Taylor Phinney, son of 1980’s cycling heroes Davis Phinney and Connie Carpenter won the under 23 version of the Paris-Roubaix yesterday.

Can’t wait to see what the future holds for young Taylor!

From VeloNews:

Phinney, 18, becomes the first American to win the race for riders under 23. The 170km race has been held since 1967 and has been won by budding professionals including Yaroslav Popovych, Thor Hushovd, Stephen Roche and Frederic Moncassin.

The group of 11 that came into the velodrome contained three riders from the Capinordic team, who massed at the front as they came on the track, said Chris De Vos, the head soigneur for the U.S. national team.

De Vos said Phinney attacked with a half lap to go. “Taylor started sprinting and damn he was so strong, nobody could follow him.”
