In the end I started too far back. When I went with about four or five hundred to go, I already knew it wasn\u2019t for the win, maybe just top three. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen the door opened with a couple hundred to go, but by then I\u2019d already done a 200-meter sprint, so I was at my limit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe speed\u2019s definitely there. The issue this year is that I haven\u2019t worked specifically with Jake [Stewart] \u2013 we\u2019ve had different programmes. Now we\u2019re starting to work together and learn from each other. I\u2019m hoping it\u2019s a duo we\u2019ll keep building in the future, but the learning has to start somewhere, and I guess it\u2019s here.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ethan Vernon outlined his finishing speed once again at the Vuelta a Espa\u00f1a on Saturday as he placed&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":109998,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[569],"tags":[64,63,784,85],"class_list":["post-109997","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cycling","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cycling","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109997","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=109997"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109997\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/109998"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=109997"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=109997"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=109997"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
