“He just said he feels good. So that is a good sign for tomorrow and I'd love to see a proper head-to-head, nobody getting obstructed or making a mistake but a sprint match between the two of them. “It's going to be entertaining.

I'm looking forward to it as everybody else is. I think speed wise to be honest, I think Caleb has the edge when it comes to speed. “Cav is there with Michael Morkov, the best lead-out man in the world and that is a massive advantage.
