Tarling was within the lead earlier than the puncture and he finally completed 27 seconds wanting gold medal and simply two seconds wanting bronze.
“S**t happens, eh? Everyone put a lot of effort in and… it happens… [I had a] front puncture and it was on the rim. With that corner coming up I had to change”, mentioned the younger British rider.
“I don’t know how much that incident cost me. So I don’t want to think too hard about what could have happened.”
“Right now it’s annoying… I’ve still got the road race to come so I’ll give that a good go.”
