And now that it turns essentially into a sprint race, Joe, it’s going to come down to tactics. Who’s your pick? It certainly does. My pick is of course Katie Archwell, my former teammate. But this is going to be a very tough ask cuz Laura Gillespie is very fast in a sprint. She certainly is. Laura Gillespie is tracing Katy Archer at the moment. And down the back straight they go. And Laura Gillespie needs to pick this up. There’s a world champion strike up for grabs here. She’s coming up over the top. Gillespie is going to make a real fight of this. She’s bidding for the title and she’s going to get there. Oh, brilliant. Lauren Gillespie for Ireland. A world champion here in the eliminator. That was absolutely superb. Barely mention her throughout the entire event. She kept it very, very quiet and went loud when she had to. Zara Gillespie, world champion. How good does that sound? Absolutely incredible. So, the European champion adds the world title to her collection. This is the best result of her career at the World Championship. She’s had a bronze medal last year in the points race. First ever rainbow jersey. Absolutely incredible for Lara Gillespie for Ireland. She cannot believe it. Look, I’m so pleased for her.
