“As an athlete, the greatest pressure to succeed comes from within – but you also have to maintain a sense of perspective.

“You can’t be expected to break your personal best, or world records, every time you hop on a bike, that consistency of performance is simply not possible. Not many competitors, in any sport, can go out and be the best at what they do week after week after week.

“For a week I spent a lot of time on my own in the athletes’ village, and when I saw everyone else winning their races I thought, ‘Oh no, I’ve got to do it now – I can’t let the side down.’

“Thank the Lord I won, and I was able to be part of the gang, to feel part of the team.

“Years earlier, when I had started training with the elite squad, among the likes of Chris Hoy, Jason Queally and Jamie Staff, I was just an insignificant kid who was desperate to be part of their crowd.

“I worried about letting the side down if I had come a cropper in Beijing, and I don’t want to mess it up next year because there will be no second chances. The Olympics Games won’t be coming back here in my lifetime.”
