That was the gutsiest performance I have ever seen and I am not ashamed to say I was in bits this morning when Michael won.

I reckon Robert was riding with him and that was worth a few miles an hour. You could tell in the last couple of miles that nothing was going to stop Michael from winning.

Even when I replayed the story to my other half this evening I was cholked up talking about it.

That has to be the bravest performance in an sport ever the likes of which I don't think will ever be repeated.
