 Taylor Nibb resigned her position on the U.S. cycling team for the road race at the Paris Olympics on Tuesday and will be replaced by homers Kristen Faulkner, who already had been picked to compete in the American Pursuit Squad in the Velodrome. Faulkner, the reigning U.S. road race champion, certainly has the ability to compete for a medal in the event. The 31-year-old from Alaska has won three Grand Tour stages over the past two years.
