SAN JOSE, Calif. (VN) — Jesse Anthony made his mark in cycling while covered in mud. He’s a cyclocrosser with serious credentials. Riding on the road for Kelly Benefit Strategies-OptumHealth, he’s an aggressive racer who loves the breakaways.

True to form he was at it during Wednesday’s ATOC stage, bravely attacking ahead of some of the race’s biggest climbs. His Orbea Orca Silver certainly seemed up to the task.

Battered but not broken. If you look closely at many pro bikes, they’ll have scratches, scrapes and sometimes even hints of rust. But mechanics keep them functioning perfectly. Photo: Nick Legan
