Well, Patrick, it was a beautiful ride and a very gallant effort... and in defeat she was extremely gracious..I was cheering for her and gutted about the young Dutchwoman Van Vleuten's crash. That's why I feel bike racing is an epic sport in the truest sense of the word and I still continue to watch it despite all the doping BS...and in the Olympics despite the noise and BS you still have these profoundly uplifting moments. Maybe the Olympics give us a chance to get in touch with our better natures.
