Adam Herndon

That’s how she won. She was the strongest and made a decisive attack at the right moment. It wasn’t luck or the others not trying. She used her skills and strengths that she has developed over the years.

The three riders then had a hard choice: try to jump, work together, or wait. At this point Faulkner already had 15secs which was a bigger gap than the leaders had for the last 2k. None of them wanted to drag any of the others to the line so they waited for someone else to go

The takes on Faulkner winning range from stupid to just wrong. She was a clear outside favorite. She has won on similar courses this year and similar ways. During the race she was strong and could see that the outright favorites were marking each other.

@BET99ON @JoePompliano @FaulknerKristen This is completely incorrect. She was added to the road race a month ago and is already the current USA national champion. She was already going to the Olympics for Track cycling.

@JoePompliano @FaulknerKristen She was also a late addition the day of because someone dropped out 😱🤯

Kristen Faulkner (@FaulknerKristen) has one of the craziest stories at this year's Olympics: • Grew up in Alaska • Rowed at Harvard • Moved to NYC after school • Started working for a venture capital firm • Took a beginner's cycling class in Central Park • Started cycling at 5:00 am before work • Started competing in local cycling tournaments • Quit her job & moved to California to cycle full-time • Added to the USA road cycling roster one month before the Olympic Games And now, just seven years after taking a beginner's cycling class in New York City, Kristen Faulkner has won gold at the Olympics in Paris — the first American to win gold in the women's road race in 40 years. INSANE.

Don’t ruin my dreams

@TheRoderick Didn’t know that Specialized was owned by Google.

Dude just walked in as we were leaving and was like " Google says you close later" and just proceeded to not care

Cav will win again.

@AdamMyerson Yelling and banging my desk alone in my office. You could see he had it when he went.

I have never sat alone in my office and yelled and screamed at no one as loud as I just did. What an absolute masterful sprint. So many perfect choices, like playing a video game. You could spend an hour dissecting it. #markcavendish #TourDeFrance

He did it!!!!!

@azens3 @TheRoderick That was a Team Beer’d thing that people got mad at.

So if I don't go to a race because I'm Injured or working do I say I'm boycotting

@TheRoderick People get mad at weird things. And with Tati there was a cornucopia of weird things to get made at.

@MaybeSpartacus I remember one year Tati did only the big CX races once a month like trek and jingle and skipped the local stuff to save money and when we came back for Montrose people got really salty

@TheRoderick “I’m taking this principled stand of not standing on the top step of podium.”

@TheRoderick “I am boycotting myself winning and thus will not race.”
