Brandon McNulty (born April 2, 1998 in Phoenix , Arizona ) is an American cyclist.

Athletic career

Brandon McNulty got into cycling through his father, a passionate mountain biker . At the age of nine he competed in his first mountain bike race and at eleven his first road race, at 13 he left his father behind. Although he was soon on the podium at national championships in various age groups, it was not initially his goal to become a racing cyclist: He had no trainer and trained together with older riders in local groups. In 2015 he was invited by former cyclist Roy Knickman to become a member of the Lux junior team .

In 2016 Brandon McNulty won the Course de la Paix Junior , was national junior champion in the individual time trial and took bronze in the time trial at the junior road world championships . The following year he became junior world champion in the individual time trial and won the junior races Trofeo Karlsberg and the Tour de l'Abitibi .

In 2017 McNulty received a contract with Team Rally Cycling and made a conscious decision to initially race mainly in the USA, based on Knickman's experience that some talented young riders from the USA had already been "swallowed down and spat out" in Europe . In the same year he was runner-up in the U23 time trial world championship and US U23 champion in the same discipline. From 2018 he started in the elite and finished seventh on the California Tour . From then on, at the latest, he was also considered one of the greatest talents in cycling internationally. In February 2019, he was initially ninth on the Tour of Oman and in April won the first edition of the Giro di Sicilia , which was revived after 40 years . At the World Championships he won bronze in the U23 individual time trial.
