A Sprinter's Tale: The Davis Phinney diary
With over 300 national and international victories in a career that spanned two decades, Davis Phinney is still the winningest cyclist in U.S. history. In 1986, he was the first American ever to win a road stage in the Tour de France; five years later, he won the coveted USPRO road title in Philadelphia.
In
2000, when Davis was just 40 years old, he was diagnosed with early-onset
Parkinson's disease. But that hasn't kept him down. Since retiring from
professional cycling, Davis has been a cycling sports commentator, public
speaker and journalist. He brings his passion for those two-wheeled machines
to Cyclingnews.
