It’s been a long wait, watching everyone start. We were absolutely ready to race. The roar of the crowd… no pressure – absolutely amazing. It’s as if the whole British public wants us to win. It’s the biggest high ever. I thought I was going to be sick at the start. I’ve felt worse in the last couple of days. (But) every detail is planned out, so at the start, we had to do our plan. We knew we could do it.
