“But we are close. I have 100 percent faith in this team and we’re going to get ꦡthere.

“We have a lot to do not only on the tr🙈ack, but off the track. We’re doing a lot of work with really trying to improve the pipeline. Making the team and the sport more diverse.

“We have so many great things creatively that we’re doing as well together. Plus the most importa☂nt thing is we want to win, so we’ve got to get back there and get the Brits up on top.”

“I have to train harder now, I work harder with my engineers. I’m more dedicated than I’ve ever been and I’m hungry. Yeah, I wa♈nt to get back up there.”
