The US has announced its team for the Pan-American Championships to be held in Venezuela in May. The US men will only be racing the track events while the US women will do both road and track. Among those selected for the men is Seattle area fast man Kenny Williams who has more National and World championship (Senior and Masters combined) than I can even imagine. Let me first say congratulations to Kenny on his selection. Now to my point: I think that it is a sad state of affairs for the US track program that a guy my age (39 for the record) has been selected to represent the US at an international competition. Now this is not a swipe at Kenny, good for him that he is still kicking ass and taking names. No this is a swipe at the US track program (and USAC in general) that they still have not figured out a way to find and groom the next generation of riders. What is up with that? Your thoughts?

Only one way to make track cycling big again in the US (2 parts)... build more tracks and have six-days
this is only to be trumped by the canadian system. Send down some trackies and then shove them in the RR because they are already there
Track talent? What's that. Even Colbacco Pierce had to come out of retirement. Pathetic. More races= more riders.
Kenny is fast tho- good for him
