The U.S. national road championships came to end in Knoxville, Tennessee, on Sunday, June 26th with two exciting road races in temperamental weather. 

In the men's race, Human Powered Health played a tactical game all day. With strength in numbers, the orange team stacked the breakaway and fired one attack after another until Kyle Murphy was able to catch his breakaway companions off guard and ride to a solo victory. In doing so, he takes over the Stars & Stripes jersey from teammate Joey Rosskopf who was unable to attend the race today.
