My Take
Taylor Phinney is the sort of athlete I find genuinely poetic. Picture a 197 cm cyclist raised in high-altitude Boulder, world champion in the individual pursuit in both 2009 and 2010, and a specialist in the lonely art of the time trial. What draws me in isn't the palmarès, impressive as a decade with Trek-Livestrong, BMC and EF Education is, but the discipline it implies: a tall frame cutting the wind, racing nothing but the clock. There's something monastic and beautiful in that solitary effort. I think the best riders are the ones who can suffer gracefully, and Phinney always struck me as exactly that kind.
