Todd Wells (Specialized Racing) finished 33rd as the top American at the UCI World Cup in Offenburg, Germany, on Sunday. Wells often finishes higher in World Cups, but he wasn't the only American struggling on the day. Samuel Schultz (Subaru - Trek) was 45th; Adam Craig (Rabobank - Giant Off-Road Team) was 62nd and Jeremy Horgan-Kobelski (Subaru - Trek) was 67th.
