Team Kenda-Seven's McConneloug and Broderick
Top Americans at World Cup #1

If you follow international mountain bike racing or are a regular visitor to this site, no doubt you're familiar with the amazing Mary McConneloug. Her podium finish at the World Cup kick-off in Curacao yesterday—while incredible—comes as no surprise.

But say the name Mike Broderick and you're as likely to hear someone refer to him as Mary McConneloug's boyfriend as you are to learn that he's also one of the top American mountain bike racers. In fact, he was the top American finisher at Curacao, crossing the line in 18th place—some 40 seconds ahead of his next compatriot, Adam Craig. The list of racers he bested—which included over 100 competitors—reads like a who's-who in the annals of professional XC racing.

Mike's incredible result yesterday comes on the heals of his second place finish at the Ultimate Dirt Challenge in Rincon, PR last weekend. Despite the fact that he has dedicated much of his racing career to supporting his teammate and life-partner McConneloug, Mike is making a name for himself and will surely be on the tip of everyone's tongue in 2006.
