David Zabriskie successfully defended his time trial title at the USA Cycling Pro Championships in Greenville, South Carolina, on Saturday.
That's an amazing feat, considering the 29-year-old from Utah suffered a broken back during Stage 2 of the Giro d'Italia this spring.
About 120 US cyclists are expected to compete Sunday for national road champion, which will be streamed live over the web at the USA Cycling Championships website.

This is Zabriskie's third straight time trial championship. He won the first two as a member of Team CSC; now he rides for US-based Garmin-Chipotle. Among his other credits; he is the only American to win a stage at the Giro d'Italia, Tour de France and Vuelta a Espana.
Zabriskie's first competition after recovering from his back injury was the Olympic road race in Beijing, which he did not finish. Two days later he finished 12th in the individual time trials.
Tom Zirbel of Bissell finished in second place at the pro championships on Saturday, five seconds down.
Zabriskie's Garmin-Chipotle teammate Christian Vande Velde finished in 3rd place on Sunday.

I believe Zabriskie has lost the moustache since that photo was taken.
