In the final installment we speak with our eldest of the new generation of American/Aussie crit racers, Owen Gillot of Team CLIF Bar.

It's not impossible to do both; but it certainly requires making choices.

Pay no attention to how oddly similar or inspiring “United States of Criterium” and “Criterium Nation are as far as titles. They are in no way, shape, or form related at all.
