It's a pretty cool story and she really showed guts with a strong 40km TT to finish with no team at all. She is a PHD in mathmatics and has a job, is completely self trained (nutrition, everything). She was gasping for air after the finish line...she really let it all hang out for a long time.
She's my new hero
"Now I‘m old, I’m 30, and I started to realise that all those people who say they know, they actually don’t know. Many of them don’t know, and especially those who say that they know, don’t know, because those who do know say that they don’t know."
I may put that in my signature file.
