Rosael Torres-DavisHOST

Rosael Torres-DavisHOST
Yeah, she was
Anne-Marije RookHOST
the best Team USA finisher, which kind of surprised me.
Jessica GelmanGUEST
Yeah.
Jessica GelmanGUEST
Kristen Faulkner, there's a great article about how she has used AI to understand her own capabilities.
Jessica GelmanGUEST
Interesting.
Jessica GelmanGUEST
Yeah.
Anne-Marije RookHOST
I think nowadays you'll see a little bit of golden flare.
Anne-Marije RookHOST
Like I think Kristen Faulkner has some gold on her bike, maybe on her Jersey as well, but traditionally there wasn't a lot of fanfare around winning an Olympic gold medal.
Anne-Marije RookHOST
And I think this is because in cycling, the rainbow Jersey is the thing that you see day in, day out, race after race.
Anne-Marije RookHOST
The Olympics are contested by a smaller field because it's dependent on the nation.
13 MINS LATER
Anne-Marije RookHOST
And I think she'll be...
Anne-Marije RookHOST
The fact that she's a threat will be underestimated big time.
Anne-Marije RookHOST
I think that people will look at the U.S. and a lot of people will look to Kristen Faulkner because of her experience, her gold Olympic medal.
Anne-Marije RookHOST
This is not at all a course for her.
Josh VernonHOST
I mean, not only in the world, but in her own country, the gold medal winner as well.
Josh VernonHOST
So with Kristen Faulkner, um, I think she was actually in the lead when she finished, too.
Josh VernonHOST
I think she had like a three or four minute lead when she hit the line.
Josh VernonHOST
And that just shows you that waiting game can...
Aidan BurgessHOST
We saw it with the women's road race at the Olympics in Paris where the favorites were marking each other.
Aidan BurgessHOST
Kristen Faulkner gets away, takes the gold medal in the women's road race as well.
Aidan BurgessHOST
How much do you think this does sort of play into some people that are maybe outside of this favorite and favorite group? And how much are you factoring that into your plans? You know, you did spend a lot of time in breakaways in the Vuelta.
Aidan BurgessHOST
Was that partly with training for a potential opportunity here at Worlds? No, my
Ned BoultingHOST
All the hitters will be there.
Ned BoultingHOST
Kasia Niviadoma, Demi Follering, Zoe Backstead for Great Britain, Naomi Rugg, Kristen Faulkner.
Ned BoultingHOST
They'll all be there.
Ned BoultingHOST
So it'll be a big showdown.
Tim HemingHOST
And she was top American.
Tim HemingHOST
There was two Americans and she finished ahead of Kristen Faulkner, who was the Olympic road race champion.
Tim HemingHOST
So, yeah, yet more super riding from Taylor Nibb.
Tim HemingHOST
Didn't fall off a bike, which she did in the Olympic time trial.
Patrick BroeHOST
Yeah, riders did crash.
Patrick BroeHOST
Was she the rider that world champion, that Kristen Faulkner was like, she shouldn't be in the road race for me?
Benji NaesenHOST
I don't know.
Patrick BroeHOST
And the Olympics, I think Falkner was correct.
Pat BulgerHOST
Despite doom and gloom of domestic scene, American cycling achieved a massive shock at the 2024 Paris Olympics against a dominant Dutch squad.
Pat BulgerHOST

Pat BulgerHOST
Kristen Faulkner.
Pat BulgerHOST
Oh, my God.
Pat BulgerHOST
We are a tie down to the last question.
