The Colorado Daily interviews Taylor about his performance at the Beijing Olympics in the 4000-meter individual pursuit.

From the article: “After eight laps of the 250-meter track, Phinney was trailing by 2.075 seconds. More importantly his body was already tiring. ‘I got out there and with eight laps to go, I was thinking, ‘I wish I had four laps to go,’ said Phinney, 18. ‘That’s never a good mentality to have.’ ”
