Geraint Thomas has reflected with a tinge of disappointment on his ride in the Rio 2016 Olympic Games men's time trial on Wednesday, where he still managed to place ninth despite only knowing he would take part less than 48 hours beforehand.
Thomas admitted in a post-race interview that he'd been out for a burger with his Great Britain team-mates after Sunday's road race, and that he hadn't felt his best over the hilly 54.56km time trial route. During the road race, Thomas had crashed heavily while in the lead group, eventually finishing 11th.
