Throughout his career, he demonstrated strong time trial capabilities, which culminated in a silver medal at the 2004 Olympic Individual Time Trial in Athens. His comeback with Team CSC in 2004 marked a period of resurgence, with victories in a time-trial stage at the Tour of the Basque Country and the LuK Challenge. The year 2005 proved to be his most successful professional season, where he became the first American to win Paris–Nice, and also secured overall victories in the Critérium International and the Eneco Tour.

He served as a technical director for Team Saxo Bank and later as a race coach for Team Sky starting in 2011.
