Trek’s American cross-country racer
We shot this photo at the Vail Lake cross-country race course in Temecula, California, in April 2023. That’s Trek’s Riley Amos taking a very high line off a big jump in the course.
Riley Amos was winning tons of U23 races a few years ago, and nows he’s battling the Elite Men on the UCI circuit. We remember how Riley Amos took seventh place in the 2024 Paris Olympics mountain bike race, beating Christopher Blevins, who placed 13th in the event. For those who don’t remember, Tom Pidcock won the gold medal there.
If you want to see how Amos and Blevins have done in their head-to-head matchups over the years, the MTBDATA website is a good place to check. Here’s the link to their full comparison, the start of which is shown below:
