I was screaming for Stannard for pretty much the last 20k, but still so happy for Haymans. It's wins like his, from an older guy who's spent his entire careering working for others but still kept dreaming, that keeps the romance in the sport. Haymans is our Leicester (I'm not a football fan, so the analogy probably won't work..)
No one has a right to the win, and I think it's a shame when we start to think certain riders do. It's the uncertainty, and the possibility for lesser names to grab these huge victories that makes it such an exciting sport.
TLDR - #Happy4Haymans
