Powless: Young, Weide deaths brought the team together

The Axeon Hagens Berman team suffered two devastating losses over the course of just one month this year, but despite their grief the young riders have banded together to rack up some impressive results since then. The team stacked the top 10 in the US Pro championship time trial on Saturday in Knoxville, Tennessee, with Neilson Powless making the podium in third.
