Busche secured the men's road race title in the USA Cycling Professional Road Championship on Monday during a torrential rainstorm in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The 30-year-old took a solo victory in the 179.3-kilometre race ahead of Cannondale-Garmin's Joe Dombrowski with Kiel Reijnen (UnitedHealthcare) in third.
Earlier the same day, and in significantly drier conditions, Guarnier took her second US title in the 111.6-kilometre women's race ahead of Coryn Rivera (UnitedHealthcare) and Tayler Wiles (Velocio-SRAM).
It was a one-two for Cannondale-Garmin in the men's time trial, run on Saturday. Talansky earned his first TT title in a convincing win ahead of trade team-mate Ben King. David Williams (Jamis Hagens Berman) rounded out the podium in third spot after the 30.9-kilometre test against the clock.
Armstrong clinched her fourth women's US TT title over the same 30.9-kilometre course on Saturday morning, coming in 12 seconds ahead of Twenty 16 team-mate Carmen Small, with Amber Neben (Visit Dallas) in third at 18 seconds.
Matthew Busche (Trek Factory Racing), Megan Guarnier (Boels Dolmans), Andrew Talansky (Cannondale-Garmin) and Kristin Armstrong (Twenty 16) all came away from the weekend with US national cycling titles.
