Can understand your disappointment from World Champs Italy last week, in what can only be described at best (after watching replays many times) as some VERY Ambitious moves / lines from competitors into first corner.., at worst, described as ‘a deliberate take out’ by Deldycke, what was he thinking at that stage, finishing on merit, or by default. All (globally) have seen the replays and would generally agree to date, like you said – never gold for Deldycke to date, - .. and make people do some things they normally would'nt. Such is life. , and tommorrow is a fresh day.
Any final, is a good final as it already means you’re the best of the best, and as you wrote - in racing you have the good and the bad.
The GOOD – Australia tonight celebrates a history making announcement in cycling – as to Your selection to represent Australia at the Olympic Games 2008, as BMX makes it debut. It surely can’t get too much better than this mate, so be very inspired.
There has not been too many profesional cyclists that have covered to the degree you have, multiple disciplanes at the same time, at this level – and make an olympics – as Australian National Champion Elite. Competition was Very thick for one of the 3 spots on olympic team, with many famous competitors missing the cut/crtiteria. Again, Well Done & Congrats.
Look forward to your official blog this site on being selected for Oz team – for China 2008.
Keep up the great work, and a huge reception awaits upon your return to Oz.
