Her focus is the time trial at the world's and obviously a support role in the road race, also at Madrid. This is all leading up to the Commonwealth Games.

Too much time has gone by and even now we seem to focus more on addressing a possible pandemic which is spread from human to human.

How can it be that Denmark has only three riders in the road race and Britain has six?

She has talent, nobody doubts that. The Giro was her last long phase before the worlds. She was using it for training and when you do stuff for training you focus on what you need to be working on. Now she's into a specific intensity phase for the time trial.

If Sarah's [form] keeps going the way it is... we should be expecting a podium finish at the worlds and definitely a podium at the Commonwealth Games.

I don't think our focus is different, but maybe our young guys are more comfortable here than on the road. The home crowd can make a difference, like it did tonight, and when the road crowd gets going, it can rattle us. It's something we've got to overcome.
