On Silver at the London Olympics team pursuit..

It's better than Beijing where we came fourth but that said, there was only one goal and that was to step on the top of the podium. At the same time, silver is a fantastic result, we can't really complain but we're still disappointed.

As a team we rode fantastic. We put everything out there and did our best. To come away with silver is still fantastic.

On my accident and missing out on the TDU...

Obviously the last couple of weeks have been disappointing, but you have to look at the positives out of it as well.  There are no breaks, so it's only a matter of days now instead of weeks or months if it was a break.

It's disappointing, missing out on the Tour - the first time with GreenEDGE and also my hometown race, but it's not the end of the world and I have a big season ahead of me.

After the wasp sting leading into the Nationals and then my fall, hopefully that's all the bad luck out of the way and I can move on to having a big and successful year.

Thanks for everybody's kind words and good wishes.  Look out 2012...

An allergy to wasps too!

I’d been doing a double training session. In the morning session - I was actually with Alexis Rhodes, the guy who looks after us, Les Clarke, and another good mate of mine Ryan Obst - a wasp flew down and got me straight in the mouth. I couldn’t do anything, it bit me just inside the mouth.

I’m normally allergic to bees and I have to carry an EpiPen around but I didn’t have it on me so I had to go to the clinic and sort it out. My face blew up like a balloon.
