“This is an emergency situation, a sprint to the finish line.”
Brad Macnealy

“In the last 300 meters I saw Alejandro start to sprint for the finish line but I just kept going and waited for the 200 meter mark to start mine, ... I never had a doubt about any of the riders in the team. They were great today, especially on the last lap.”
Tom Boonen
“I've said this was going to be a sprint to the line and it was probably going to be a dip to get into the Australian team but it would be unbelievable.”
Sonia O'Sullivan
“Leon Van Bon led me out perfectly, but I started the sprint too early, couldn't finish it. Although I was going for a stage win, the intermediate bonus sprint and the green jersey gives me a lot of self confidence.”
Robbie McEwen
“It might be one of the last sprint relays we do together. To finish it with an Olympic medal, I'm not going to say it was surreal. We promised each other we wouldn't get too fruity at the end of this.”
Beckie Scott
“The last thing I was expecting was a sprint at the finish. In the last 200m I had to give all I had. It was very hard.”
