I've ridden with Jimmy Hayward - who came third - a few times. It's quite upsetting just how quickly he goes uphill. I remember watching him pull away up Chalkpit lane, as my legs were being eaten alive by lactic, and looking as though he was pootling along a canal towpath. Mind you, he does wear age 12-13 cycling jerseys...
