She's 30 and used to be pro. I looked at wiki and I think it said last rode for a team in 2017. Flying under the radar almost certainly helped her win so I'm not sure she'd get signed on the basis of the win alone. They failed to count the riders off the front and they underestimated how well they rode. Still a great win for her.
Bit like '92, Kathy Watt, life member of my old club...

"It was a subdued one arm celebration from Watt as she crossed the line, 20 seconds ahead of Longo who celebrated what she believed was the victory."

Seriously? I hope she gets a nice deal out of this. This is the sort of story that makes me put my scepticism of the Olympics to one side.
