Oh I didn't hear about her riding it, and she smashed it totally. Brilliant
With such a busy race schedule I didn’t have much time to prepare for the event so one evening before the race I headed down to my local outdoor track to practise turning right on a track bike. (Something I had never done before). This made me even more nervous as I felt this didn’t come naturally to me.
I’ve been training hard and racing all season so I knew I had good form. Being out the front was tough, especially on a fixed gear bike where you can’t stop pedalling for a split second. I wasn’t aware of the time gap between myself and the 2 chasers behind until I was coming up to lap them. (To my amazement I ended up lapping the whole field) This was the first time I allowed myself to relax knowing I just had to stay upright to win.

The women's field is strong, there's a couple of pro road cyclists, an ex-olympian mtb'er, etc. but none can touch a multiple world champion and olympic gold medal track cyclist.
The men's field is more even and even then Marius Petrache, Romanian national road champ, and Loic Chetout of Cofidis, who have both raced multiple times haven't one any.
