That’s a shame for sure. We had a pretty solid fourth place there with just a couple of laps to go and the bike was feeling pretty good in the wet. But then as soon as I touched the brake at the end of the back straight it folded on me. I hadn’t even started back-shifting yet and before I knew it I was just picking up speed as I hit the ground – it was a rough ride. It sucks, but it seems like no bones are broken and that’s a good thing, though I’ve damaged some cartilage in my ribcage. It’s just hugely disappointing for me and the team but I can’t blame it on anybody but myself today. The bike was not bad in the wet – for sure it was moving around a little bit and some of the other riders took off but we definitely didn’t deserve that today. I guess that’s how it goes sometimes so we’ll just keep working at it and come back hard at the next race in Italy.
