In the TTT pursuit, it really is a team thing. I do not expect a USA win.
In the end, he is very powerful short term and very aero. But he is not a sprinter and not an endurance rider (that we have seen).
So I'm not so sure this will result in a USA medal.
In the Pursuit - I think that is USA's best chance.

His story is interesting. A strong gravel rider who happened to find track racing. Then gets a world record. Awesome stuff.
