WOC 2014: T minus 15 days!

With 15 days left before WOC 2014 in Italy, Team USA is gearing up for the action and we hope the fans at home are gearing up for some very early morning spectating. Two weeks is plenty of time to start waking up a bit earlier every day, ready for those 4am GPS-track-watching sessions.
