I have a lot of friends and family in Orlando so it's always great to get back down there. I'm riding really strong right now and I'd like to keep my momentum going this weekend.

Josh set a fast pace, didn't want to lose it there.

Unfortunately I wasn't up front at the start, but I was able to get around traffic early. I saw that the top guys were up front and I knew I had to pass them to get into the lead.

I didn't go out that much or hang out with my friends too much because of my family. I really wanted to spend some time with them because last year I spent my time with the national team, so this year it was a chance to spend some time with them.

It is imperative that a sensitive approach is taken to ensure the victims, their family and friends are protected from the deep emotions that the constant revisiting of this tragedy can unleash.

I have friends and family over that way, and they're concerned. Which is why it's so important that we have changes at the national level, but I don't think much will come of Bush's policies. There's too much going on in the world to worry about us.
