The Australian continued: "I still do not believe I did it. I suffered from cramps in both legs and at the end I tried to throw the bike forward and hoped for the best and that it would be enough. I have to watch it again if be so, because I still do not believe I succeeded. I moved to Europe at 16 36, so I fulfilled a dream after 20 years competing. "
