Coryn is the only modern name that comes to mind. No one I can think of in the men's peloton. That said, I really know nothing about your crit scene, I was just shocked by how bad results were at the Commonwealth games for Williams.
Oh, I was confused by your last post, and thought you must be talking about the Williams' at the USPro TT/RR. I had forgotten about the dual citizenship.
Yeah, doesn't surprise me. Those guys are almost never on a TT bike, and they're not climbers. I've always thought the William' best shot at international success would be on the track, and I think Justin did one track nationals. But neither take the track seriously.
Even Sam Boardman, one of Legion's best TT/RR guys looked overmatched the year he did the Tour of California. There is a big gap.
Agreed on Coryn, and also now Megan Jastrab who recently finished second to Vos. But I didn't quite include them because they're no longer crit regulars. Americans seem to abandon the crit scene to become World Tour pros, at least since the "Cash Register" Phinney days. Which makes sense.
