How would you summarise your 2020?
Although it was a strange, unprecedented year, it was the best year of my career. It was brilliant for me, but it wasall about trying to stay focused, including when we were confined to our homes during lockdown. Speaking about my own performance, I was very happy with my sprinting, but I can also say that our sprint train was exceptionally strong too – I think that my strong performances led to other team riders raising their level.
How do you cope mentally when races are cancelled?
