So, in case some of you missed it, some results from HK.... The US rode a great team pursuit in the first round -- 4:54 something on a slower track than New Zealand. They took some risks and cracked in the final, but they're totally medal capable at Worlds.
Hegevary got his first ever medal in an individual event (also his first try), a silver in the scratch.
So I would definitely say that the US men's endurance team is looking better and better.
