What was I thinking when I went off the front?

I said to Trent with 30 km to go that I thought I should go on the attack. There was a climb coming up and I didn’t think I would be able to make it over with the group. So I thought I should try and get a gap and get over it before the bunch. Then maybe I could help out on the other side into the finish. Also, we had been swapping off to bring the break back for the last 40 km. So if I went up the road, it would take the pressure off our team and make the other teams chase.

I opened up a gap of 1’40″, so Matt White had come across to me. We now had a chance for me to take the stage, so I went for it. The team rode awesome and my main goal was to help them out.
