Olympic road races yield early drama for delayed Tokyo Games

FILE - Laura Trott, left, and her fiance Jason Kenny, both of Britain, pose with their gold medals at the Rio Olympic Velodrome during the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in this Tuesday, Aug. 16, 2016, file photo. Britain is hoping to back up consecutive dominant performances in Olympic cycling at the Tokyo Games next month, though much has changed since Rio. Allegations of bullying, sexism and discrimination along with doping charges leveled at its ex-chief doctor have led to leadership changes at British Cycling. Still, such riders at the husband-wife track duo of Jason and Laura Kenny and youngsters such as Tao Geoghegan Hart have the British team eyeing more gold in Japan. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky, File)
Britain cycling team aims for more gold after rocky 5 years

File-This April 21, 2021, file photo shows U.S. rider Ruth Winder of the Trek Segafredo in action during the Women's Belgian cycling classic and UCI World Tour race Fleche Wallonne, in Huy, Belgium. The cycling team that the U.S. is taking to the Tokyo Olympics is a little bit different than the one it would have taken a year ago, when the COVID-19 pandemic forced organizers to postpone the Summer Games by an entire year. In many ways, the team announced Thursday, June 10, 2021, is a whole lot stronger. Chloe Dygert, who sustained a serious injury during a crash last fall, will be busy during the three weeks in Tokyo. The 2019 world time trial champ will join Amber Neben in the race against the clock, and both of them will join Winder, Coryn Rivera and Leah Thomas as the Americans try to upset the heavily favored Dutch in the women's road race.
