    Thank you very much :) must say I'm not a fan of the 9hr wait from qualifying to finals, very stressful!

    We had a cool Airbnb in Wareham which was nice, stayed there couple of nights with Hayley and Rich. Makes a big difference sleeping I think - tried camping before races and it's always a wattage sapper

    I was pretty poor for various reasons but enjoyed it. I did do the tricky corners (first one and then the sharp left through the village) faster than both Chris Fennell and Rich which was gratifying, even if they did put minutes into me elsewhere :D

    Went for a reccy end of last week, looks like I'm going to be not in the aerobars for the first 10min :D

    We've been faffing with gearing with all our riders, everyone's on something different - Rich Bussell on 58/50, me 58/44, Jess RJ 54/40, Hayley not sure yet but I think 58/xx, Vicky Smith 56/42. Should be fun, last 4km is a bit tight though and you don't want two cars going opposite way whilst you're racing.

    We had a ton of different versions of these before we settled on the final one, some required individual carbon moulds for every size which would have made the price even higher (yes I know it’s high already but machining a dinner plate out of a block of very very high quality non stressed Ti is difficult, and also pretty much wrecks a cutting tool on every chainring so they’re replaced constantly).

    We’ll definitely have a couple in the Olympics but have another first batch which may make it in too, will be tight though.

    The first revision we did for the UCI was more exciting than that (and I was convinced they'd be fine with it! But they weren't.). But yes trips above and below, you can't see amazingly in those photos but we'll get some better ones soon.
