It’s very, very special to us. When we crossed the finish line, it was pretty emotional. ‘We’ve done it’, I said to [brother and gold medallist] Alistair. And he said, ‘We’ve done it’. It was for me the most emotional moment of my career. We can’t help being brothers – that’s our parents’ fault! But the trust we have wins races.I’ve never worked as hard as I have this year, for the last 10 years. It’s a big, big present for me, this medal. Now I need a break.
