Yup, I'm serious. Ryf can and will ride better than she did on Saturday. Lucy is a stud and on her way up and these two will have some battles I'm sure. And I'd love to see someone push Ryf rather than her killing the field the way she has the last 3 years (13, 24, and 9 minute victories). But right now Lucy is 9 minutes back from Ryf despite Daniela not riding well for the first 87 miles. Did you watch the race, or just salivate over the top swimmers like you always do?

Also, how is Lucy going to break 8:30? She'd basically have to break the course swim, bike, and run record all in the same race.
