I need some publicity out there.

211

It was important to get to the front and stay there, as it was really fast.

199

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.

192

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.

170

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'.

145

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.

121

When it came to the final sprint I felt that I was in with a good chance.

115

I'm happy with silver because I knew I was up against the best sprinters in the world.
