Lance mailing it in.
I still do not understand how Wout and Van der pol were brought back the first time around 45km to go. They should easily been able to stay away. Then they also got Jorgenson in the group and really should have been able to stay away. Doesn't make sense that they got caught that quick, it looks like they stopped working together and that is when Pedersen brought them back.
Where is the rest of the team? Should have had the ladies on to give their commentary on the race. Big miss
For fans who haven't gotten the "full" story on Faulkner's history. I found this all online from the usual public racing results websites and some public profiles news channels have done on her. It basically goes like this. She moved to NYC in 2017-ish for a job in the finance industry. Having grown up being an outdoorsy/athlete for all her life, she needed an outlet. So she found herself on a NYC club team in the CRCA system. She started winning some local park races (just like George Hincapie back in ye olden times) as a member of the Dave Jordan CRCA sub-team. After a few years of being a strong local "park racer" she spent a few years on club-level teams in California where she continued to do well in smaller west coast races. I haven't been able to pin down how she drew the attention of her first US pro team, Tibco though. However Tibco, in 2020, she was mostly racing in Europe, collected some UCI points, stayed with Tibco in 2021, collected a whole lot more points, rose to 27th in international rankings. Signed with Jayco in 2022 and the rest is sort of history doing well in big Euro races.
Let’s be real:
Gold medal Tadej Pogacar,
Silver Remco Evenpoel
Bronze Valentin Madouas
You underestimated the French boys, 2-3. I had mentioned Christophe Laporte on the preview show.
Enzo's on EF???
JB, are you talking about field hockey? Ice hockey is in the Winter Olympics.
I think I want to visit George in his well stocked basement!
Women’s road race was best 1 day event of the year…
Them not knowing that Faulkner is the women’s national road race champ for 2024 is just embarrassing…
I'm just here for George's wine collection… 🤣
You do not mention a fall in which Kopecki was involved. She then had to pursuit on her own for about 15 minutes to reach the leader group. I think she didn't have the power anymore to follow the winner…
why is't faulkner getting more credit, in america, Greg and Lance worlds but Olympics and why didn't she sit up and celebrate…
I watch all of the women's races throughout the year. They all race and a rider from SD Worx wins. It's really boring. Add a massive chunk of Km and it's a game changer. Longer races would benefit SO many hardcore riders like Faulkner. Never mind these 102km races. Makes them 160. Still a hundred KM less than the men.
Maybe the younger riders can excel quicker because they don't have to compete with veterans who have been on the juice for a decade… it's just a thought.
Lance, nice podcast.. but you're a complete disappointment to cycling… FU buddy
Steve Schlanger is a panacooken!
Not listening? What serious cyclist wouldn't be listening to Lance, George, and Johann?
George, too much wine! You must send me some.
This is The Move. Le Tour was The Move on a Peacock budget.
Faulkner rode up to the final 3 and they all knew each other, none knew her because she was a newbie in Europe racing. And Faulkner didn't give them a chance. THEN, typical of closing miles, the 3 known Euro riders were looking at each other – "You chase." "No, YOU chase." and "I'm NOT dragging 2 sprinters behind ME!" It was a perfect storm.
Faulkner was incredible! Some of her times in the last few kilometers were faster than Remco’s time and she was faster than the vast majority of men in the race on strava. What a beast! She has been on the up and up in the last couple of years.
With you on the choices. I chose archery one afternoon and it was fantastic.
you just push the same BS all over again !!! Jorgenson will never be like Pogi so stop the bs !!!!
What else can you do know ?Be careful of controllers 💉💉💉💉💉💉💉🤡🎪🤐🤫
She beat the al lime GOAT Mariana Vos And the current World champion also Blanka Vas is going to be huge, shes only 20
JB1 Thank you, i think Tarling wins as well 32 seconds with slowing waiting for the bike then getting back to speed. Let alone finding rhythm on a different bike, I think Josh would be really close
remco and his ritilin tue
Lance is right. At no time ever in our lives, me being 50, had we ever been given so much access to all of the events at the Olympics. Great time to be a fan. Love you all
Greg van avermaet won gold for belgium before
haha hincapie fued…… he helps lead you out right?ahahahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa lol
Faulkner stated in a post-race interview that she was all in to win the women's RR, so she may have strong goals and high expectations in her track events but she was certainly pumped to make her mark on the road!
You think the Olympics is so cool? Well therr was that oprning crremony
Faulkner story yes a everyone likrs to see a woman with a very lucrative carreer win Gold medals
She was a chess master closing the one minute gap, then the attack and soloing away? I was in awe every minute.
What an impressive resume Remco has made for himself by 24yrs of age! 🏅 🏆 i have to admit, George's wine rack is pretty cool
In May, she won the U.S. road title, but lost out on qualifying by losing the U.S. individual time trial title by 11 seconds to triathlete Taylor Knibb.
Only Remco can set riders into the wind that ride behind him! Astounding how he is able to ride in his aerodynamic TT-position also at the last hour of such a long race.
Kopecky got stuck behind Dygert's crash and she was the only one who closed the gap with the leaders (Vos, Vas, Faulkner, Longo Borgini,…). The energy she spend there was the energy she needed at the end.
During the video I had ad from Nike. Glad that they are again a partner 😉
Kristin Faulkner was the deserved winner. She was the driving force in the pursuit of the duo Vos-Vas. And as the slowest of the four, her only chance of a medal was to attack. Even the smallest child could see that. Vas did react and came within 5 meters, but Vos and Kopecky were eying each other and trying to let the other close the gap. And then the bird would have flown. Kopecky does have a point that Vos, as the fastest, had the most to lose, and it was up to her to react, but not reacting could cost her silver (shades of Wollongong?). Because if they catch Faulkner, it's game over for her, and the sprint for the medals will be between her and Vos and Vas.
Kopecky had to made a serious effort 40 km earlier in the pursuit after the roadblock at that fall on the 1st climb of Montmartre, and in retrospect that costs her (too) much strength. But making that effort was the right choice because she is the only rider who could join the leading group from the background. For the rest (Vollering, Wiebbes, Labous,…) it was game over. But it was a chase of many kilometers which cost power.
What does Vos cost the gold: not reacting to Faulker (see above) but especially – and here I disagree with Hincapie – when she was in front with Vas, Marianne Vos clearly did the least leading turns. Vos always plays the sneaky one. If Marianne Vos does more leading work at the moment that the two (Vos, Vas) are fighting against two (Faulkner, Kopecky), then Faulkner and Kopecky probably won't return. And Vos sprints for gold. She outfoxed herself.
Bruyneel made an error: Evenepoel has never been European champion on the road: in 2021 he was second after Colbrelli. So that's still one (the only) of the gaps in his palmares with regards to championships.
George with the wine flex 💪
You guys kind of glossed over US Cyclist/Triathlete Taylor Knibb. In Triathlon circles, I have heard her competitors and triathlon coaches refer to her as the dream killer or dream destroyer. She is an extremely strong cyclist but does not have the bike handling skills of the full time team cyclist. If the TT course was dry, I think she would have been a bigger story. You can get a small glimpse of her strength in the team triathlon event. I hope we get to see her in pure cycling events in the future. I would like to see a rematch of her against the worlds best female pure cyclist in better conditions.
George,any Screaming Eagle on that wall of your's impressive Wine cellar 😂😆
