Steve Peat: “I have had such bad luck at the World Championships but today I had an awesome run … Over the years it has become my nemesis, I don’t think it’s sunk in yet, I’m still pretty overwhelmed with it all … I’m the oldest guy out there and I’ve been trying for a long time with a lot of second places, but I felt strong coming into this race … It was pretty emotional putting the jersey on, on the podium knowing I could wear it as World Champion for the next year, I’ve been trying for a long time and it’s just an unreal feeling.”

Hopefully this’ll be a big boost for British cycling (if the media reports this massive achievement properly).
