very cool to see Jackson play that finale really well. She was too far forward with about 1km to go, and let a rider or two in front of her in the corners. And then Faulkner buried herself to get to the front to give Jackson a leadout - Jackson must have been absolutely psyched to see Faulkner come by her like that, and it was a pitch-perfect leadout followed by Jackson's very gritty sprint. Great win in tough conditions!
