It would have been great to have an all-American sweep, ... but I think that this shows how strong the Americans are.

It was a long time in the hot seat and I was hopeful that I might hold on,

It was going to be somebody's day, and I knew that one of us was going to have that day. We're all really strong riders and we're all really fit, but to have that podium ride or world championship everything has to come together.

I'm very pleased with my performance and being up there with Karin and Joane, both of whom I look up to, is great. I hope to be in their seats in future years.

I had a long time in the hot seat (race lead), and I did kind of hope to hold on. But I'm just happy to be up here with Joane and Karin. I look up to both of them.
