American breakaway specialist Robin Carpenter has come oh so close to winning his first European race over the past several years. In 2018 his closest call came at stage 5 of the Arctic Race of Norway; last season Carpenter scored two second-place finishes at hard one-day races in France after riding for much of the day in breakaways. Carpenter is headed back to Europe in 2020 with Rally Cycling, and the team is likely to give him more opportunities to race to win.
