This is the second time Bobby and Jens have sat down with Kristen Faulkner - a little over two years ago she spoke to us about her battles to survive in the peloton, how her rivals refused to follow her wheel - as they considered her too risky to follow and how challenging that initial step had been into the sport. Even then it was clear to see Kristen was destined to succeed - she'd already won the QOM at the Giro Donne as well as a stage win, but this summer she's launched herself into a whole new stratosphere of success.

First she secure the US National road title, then in the space of a week she secured two Olympic gold medals - surprising the field with a late attack in the road race and dominating the team pursuit with her teammates. Days later she was at the Tour de France femmes and competing for stage wins.

We caught up with Kristen to share her success and work out what's next for her, what she has planned away from the bike and how she's found life since becoming the first American to win gold in two different disciplines at the same Olympic Games.
