Long live Longo

From Velo News:

French cycling legend Jeannie Longo easily beat riders half her age to claim her fourth consecutive time trial title at the French national championships on Thursday.

It was 52-year-old Longo’s 58th French national championship title including track and road cycling.

My favorite part about this story is not that Jeannie Longo won her fourth(!) consecutive(!) time trial title at the French national championships(!), or that she is 52(!), or that this is her 58th(!) title.

My favorite part is that she crushed the competition by 42 seconds.

Jeannie Longo, you are too bad ass for a photo finish.
