ExpressIndia.com talks to Taylor Phinney about his hopes for his first Olympics and the importance of his family.

From the article: “I don’t come into this race as a huge favourite, which is something I like,” the 18-year-old said. “I’m sort of an underdog due to my age and my inexperience. I’m just here exactly for the experience and being a part of the Olympic Games.” Phinney is extremely close to his family and cites them as his most important support structure.
