Speaking after the race, Richael Timothy told the CI web master: “I’m happy with a medal, I kind of knew against the sprinters that I would have to go. It was very negative (the race) no one was really trying anything because it was such a small group as well, but I suppose a medal is a medal so I’m happy with it now. I’m kind of used to bronze and 4th places so it’s good going into next year and we’ll see what we can do.” “Jamie (National Para-Cycling Coach) had said to me to try and go and make an effort and see if I could get rid of one or two of them because I knew if it came down to a sprint I wouldn’t have it so yeah I just did it and I went with three laps to go but just got caught at the end.” “It was good to do the omnium to get a sense of where you are overall so I kind of knew if I finished fourth or higher, I’d end up in the bronze for the omnium so yeah two medals, I’m delighted with it.”
