The United States Cycling Team captured a continental title on Tuesday as Amber Neben (Irvine, California) rode to a win in the time trial at the Pan American Cycling Championships in Cabreuva, Brazil.

Kori Seehafer (Louisville, Colorado) earned her second medal of the week, riding to a bronze in the race against the clock. On Sunday, Seehafer gave the U.S. its first medal of the championships with a silver-medal performance in the 87km elite women’s road race in Indaiatuba. Seehafer finished behind Ymari Gonzalez of Cuba among a final group of 15 riders. Teammates Sarah Uhl (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) and Neben finished 12th and 14th respectively. The U.S. had no entrants in the elite men’s road race or the U23 road race, also held on Sunday. The 2006 Pan American Cycling Championships continue with track events June 8-11 when five Americans saddle up against the Western Hemisphere’s top cycling talent. Stephen Alfred (Capitola, California), Michael Blatchford (Cypress, California), and Giddeon Massie (Colorado Springs, Colorado) will represent the men’s contingent for the U.S. while Becky Quinn (Quakertown, Pennsylvania) and Uhl will wear the stars and stripes for the women.
