I think the fact that I raced a week ago in a hard eight-day stage race and I recovered wellvis a good indicator that I’m in good shape. As Davis (Phinney) reminded me, I am about 15 years older than anyone up here, except Matt (Updike). It’s never an easy task, but I feel like I’m ready. I feel like my teammates up here are ready as well. We’re really honored to take part in another national championship in my hometown of Greenville, which in my opinion is the best city in the world. I haven’t even looked at the start list. I tend to focus on myself and my team. I will say most of the peloton has also completed the AMGEN Tour of California, so it will be the fittest field we’ve had

I will say most of the peloton has also completed the AMGEN Tour of California, so it will be the fittest field we’ve had, for sure. That was a tough race and everybody recovers differently. I’m sure the rest of the peloton has a lot of tough racing in their legs, so I think you’ll some really exciting, tough racing.”
