»It's not about being here to win. It's about doing everything we can to perform to the best of our ability and just get the maximum performance out. And bit by bit every single round, we stepped forward and really improved in that way.

And I think it was the best we had full stop. It was a really, really clean solid ride. And I think all of us, obviously, are on cloud nine." The fight for bronze saw Denmark’s Tobias Hansen, Carl-Frederik Bevort, Lasse Norman Hansen, and Rasmus Pedersen look extremely lethargic against Australia’s Conor Leahy, Kelland O'Brien, Sam Welsford and James Moriarty, but after a big push in the final kilometre, they managed to hang on for third by 1.4 seconds.
