Racing With The Big Boys

This was at some criterium, I'm guessing around 1993 (from her Cannondale bike and Canyon Velo jersey).  Women's races were usually combined by the promoter with men in order to get a bigger field (and I assume to save on prizes).  She can hang with guys typically until the final sprint, when testosterone usually drives who takes the most risk in bumping elbows and bikes.
