Magnus Sheffield and Matteo Jorgenson will join Brandon McNulty on the U.S. cycling team for the Paris Olympics. Together, the trio could be the best chance for an American to win a road race medal since Alexi Grewal took gold 40 years ago. McNulty had already qualified for the team by winning the U.S. time trial championship. Sheffield and Jorgenson were added to the team by USA Cycling on Friday. Chloe Dygert and Taylor Knibb had already secured the two women's spots on the team. Dygert won the time trial world title to earn an automatic nomination, while Knibb was a surprising winner of the U.S. time trial championship.
