My ten year old was jumping in the air and yelling with excitement as Chris Newton in his worlds
jersey looked to have the 20km sown up.
When the incredible speed of Bradley Wiggins pulled everyone up to Newton with less than half a lap
to go, and allowed O'Grady to take the sprint he couldn't believe his eyes. "Wiggins lost it for
Great Britain" was all I've been hearing since.
To say he's annoyed is an understatement, although David Millar's autograph helps
I've been trying to console him with the brilliant 1-2 UK over the Aussies in the Pursuit (what a
race) and Chris Hoy in the sprint.
It was an incredible day. Fantastc crowd, great weather and superb racing.
