That last line sounds like us in Beacon Hill Park.“We heard that we were two seconds down and I think I got a little excited and started putting the hammer down. The next thing I realised I was alone. It sucks that you know that you made a mistake and you finished so close. I have this burden right now that I let the team down because on the Cauberg I blew things apart.”
“I heard on the radio ‘Tejay you’re alone’ and I thought ‘oh God, this is not good’. I thought there was me Gilbert, Pinotti, Ballan, so four climbers and two seconds down, we can go. I tried to keep it somewhat steady and try and get the two seconds back but I looked back and I was alone and I though ‘shit, now we’ve lost the race’. I’m kicking myself now because we finished three seconds down, and when it’s a mistake that you made, that’s tough. If we’d stayed more organised maybe we could have pulled it back. It’s always hard at the end of a 50km time trial when you’re going full gas and you’re trying to keep it all together.”
