The most exciting athlete in american cycling

Keegan Swenson is arguably the most exciting athlete in American cycling. A dominant figure since his mid-teens, Keegan has won just about every race you can imagine, in varying disciplines and in convincing fashion. 2023 was another mind-blowing year for Swenson. He won his second consecutive Life Time Grand Prix in convincing fashion. His 24-minute win (a course-record by 15 minutes) at the Leadville 100 MTB, however, will be remembered as one of the greatest cycling races ever ridden.
