During the race, I went through a really bad patch on the fourth lap where I found myself at the back looking at people going out of the back of the race and thinking 'I mustn't be one of these and I have to move up', |
I got in behind Regina and was well positioned. Giorgia Bronzini tried to move me aside with a dig with her elbow but I held my place, but then Giorgia got in front of me again when Regina started the sprint and I had to come around her. |
I need some publicity out there. |
I think it was really good that I was able to come second to a fast sprinter like Regina who had the best train to lead her out, |
I'm happy with silver because I knew I was up against the best sprinters in the world. |
It was important to get to the front and stay there, as it was really fast, |
Now it's another 12 months I have to watch another rider race in the rainbow jersey. I didn't do much wrong. I was beaten by a very, very fast sprinter. |
The girls all helped me get back up there and everyone did what they could so for sure without the girls supporting me, I wouldn't have been there. |
When it came to the final sprint I felt that I was in with a good chance, |
