Showing Their Colors O21-9
I think that the kits for Selam Amha (Ethiopia) and Mossana Debesay (Eritrea) are the two best kits in the Olympic peloton. These two went off the front early to show that they were in fact in the Olympics. Each was the sole representative of their country and each went on the attack in the race as a point of honor. They stayed off the front well into the race, and even after being caught and passed by a chase group, they stayed away from the peloton for considerably longer than even they expected. Perhaps they were aided by the egos of the marquee riders back in the peloton who seemed to believe that they could bridge a gap of any size (that didn't include themselves) at will. We saw much the same play out in the men's race just 24 hours earlier.
