Any race I go into, I've always got the attitude of throwing myself into and wanting nothing but No. 1.

You have got to act on instinct; you've got to ride from your heart and let that performer come out. You can't over-think it too much because if you're thinking, the race is already over.

I've got to know my strength and weaknesses and the same for my competitors.

The biggest thing I've learnt is not to limit myself by the norm or what I should be doing.

One medal. One shot. One lap. Eight riders. No lanes. No right of way. Just go.

I've always been a bit of a daredevil, even as a little girl with a pretty high pain tolerance and things like that.
