Awe man. Kind of a brutal situation for both of them. I would assume Stefan would have won had he not messed up. For Lael to win because of Stefans mess up is kinda lack luster but also triumphant in that they raced to the finish and she won. I would have had the same attitude as Lael. Strip the bike and sprint!
Funny cause I fell asleep while I was watching Inspired to ride last night.
There are a lot of would of, should have, and could have factors from the first mile of the race. In the end, as long as the rules were observed, Stefan would have won if he'd come in before Lael.
Congrats to both for a great race. Congrats to everyone else out there. I'm a back of the packer and it's pretty hard to stick it out for days after the front of the pack finishes.
