Since Canada’s Svein Tuft in 2007, Rory Sutherland is the first North American rider to capture overall win in the UCI America Tour. Or rather, the 30-years-old rider born in Canberra, Australia, represents an USA squad, UnitedHealthcare Pro Cycling Team, and his hometown in the United States, Boulder, Colorado. This is where Sutherland won his best achievement, a stage on the USA Pro Challenge-Tour of Colorado – his major success this season, ahead of the Tour of the Gila and the Tour of Beauce.
