Andrew Talansky (born November 23, 1988) is an American professional road racing cyclist who rides for UCI ProTeam . Born in New York City, New York, United States, Talansky currently resides in Napa, California, United States.〔 ==Biography== Talansky competed in cross-country running at high school in Florida before taking up competitive cycling at age 17. After success in local amateur races, he moved to Lees-McRae College in North Carolina, winning the collegiate national championship race in his freshman year. He left college after one year to join the Amore & Vita team in Italy in 2009, but found the conditions unsatisfactory and returned to the US that spring. He raced in the US in 2009 without team support. After a strong ride at the Tour of the Gila race, he joined Garmin for the 2010 season, moving up to the professional team for 2011, where he made the top ten at the 2011 Tour de Romandie. In 2012, Talansky scored his first professional victory in Europe at the Tour de l'Ain, and was named Garmin's lead rider for the 2012 Vuelta a España,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bicycling.com/garmin-insider/featured-stories/garmin-sees-its-future-rising-american-star-andrew-talansky )〕 finishing seventh on the general classification. In 2013, he came second in Paris-Nice, having led the race for two days, and was selected for the Tour de France for the first time, again making the top ten overall. He won the 2014 Critérium du Dauphiné, joining a high quality breakaway group on the final stage to overcome a 39 second deficit to overnight race leader Alberto Contador. He retired from the 2014 Tour de France after a very uncomfortable day on his bike, due to multiple crashes. The broom wagon was following him at the end of the stage. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Andrew Talansky」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
