"Your mental game is what makes the difference at the highest levels of the sport. Everyone trains and puts the time in, but the decisions in your head are crucial. In a race it's more about calculating your energy in a smart way. You always start the day with 'X' amount of energy; once you're out of it you start making mistakes or wasting energy. So I always think about how I want to use the energy I have." (lessonsinbadassery.com, 24 Aug 2018)

MISSING OUT ON RIO
She was not selected for the US team that competed at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. "I was disappointed, of course, but I think I did a good job of refocusing and making the most out of it. I just refocused on another race that was going on during the Olympics, [Thurigen Rundfahrt] in Germany because my training had been on fire. I trained as if I was going to the Olympics, and the goal was to get a stage win. Every day I was so close: I was top-five, then top-three, and on the last day I finally got a stage win. I was stoked because I used that hunger and motivation to have a good race. It put me on the radar for European teams, and that's when Team Sunweb started reaching out to see what I was doing for the next season. I think the win showed that I could handle European racing and do well in the European peloton." (velonews.com, 07 Feb 2020)

ALMOST QUITTING
She took a year away from cycling in 2012 after questioning why she was pursuing the sport. "It all came crashing down one day. I was all kitted up to go out for a long ride and I suddenly asked myself, 'Why am I doing this?' It was a defining moment in my life, really. I had spent my life up to that point just listening to my parents and my coaches - all the adults around me who were trying to guide me. [After a year away from cycling] I was ready to fall back in love with bike racing. Everything just fell into place from there." (pelotonmagazine.com, 01 Jan 2018)
