EVERYONE WHO KNEW Nicole Reinhart has wres-
tled with the whys, the hows or the why-nows of her
death last September. That she died less than a mile
away from winning the biggest bike race of her life
on the biggest day of her career is still hard to fath-
om. The what-ifs are easier to grasp. "Had she won
that race, she would've elevated both herself and
women's cycling to a new level," says Rene Wenzel,
a former director of the Saturn team Reinhart raced
for. "She had the personality, the looks, the talent." |
