Heirs to cycling greatness, two teens — Taylor Phinney and Danny Summerhill — emerge as America’s brightest future stars.

Out of gale-force winds and drenching rain, from muddy puddles and sloppy run-ups, the USGP finale in Portland, Oregon, settled the final score for this year’s biggest cyclocross series, with Ryan Trebon and Georgia Gould slathered in sweet victory.

Why can’t we all just get along? Perhaps it’s not the warmest friendship, but America’s two top cyclocross racers have nonetheless formed their own kind of special bond — one based on cool competition.

There’s no Oscar red carpet. No teary Tony speech. No Grammy performance. It’s just our nod to this year’s best — and worst — including one curmudgeon’s annual rant on the world of cycling.
