“I’m really looking forward to the gun going off and running," Nick told FastRunning in an extensive interview earlier this week

“I had a really good week’s training after the race [in Liverpool where he qualified for Euros],” he revealed. “My coach was on the bike during a session, and, during a rep he rode next to me and said ‘it’s easy when you’ve got a bounce in your step’."

Nick Goolab tucked in behind Marc Scott, who he would outsprint at the finish.
