American pro cyclist Timmy Duggan is the 2012 U.S. men’s road race champion and will be trying to defend his title today in Chattanooga.Timmy Duggan’s 2013 pro cycling season hasn’t gone as well as he might have hoped.
The Boulder, Colo., native was coming off a strong 2012 campaign, winning the USA Cycling Professional Road Race Championship last May in Greenville, S.C., and competing in London as a member of the U.S. Olympic team.
Then the wheels began to come off.
He left the Liquigas-Cannondale team to sign with SpiderTech-C10 for 2013, only to have the team surprisingly disband before he had a chance to race for them.
He was able to secure a spot on Team Saxo-Tinkoff for this year, but then misfortune hit again in January with a nasty crash in Australia.
