Went over after riders crashed in front of him in Roubaix and broke his knee,

He broke his knee?

He's way too hard on himself. Speaking of letting himself and the team down, failing... You're 20 years old, you don't have to be the WC ITT yet. More than enough time to develop and become better.

To me it seems as though the Olympics took it out of him mentally a bit, he was extremely disappointed after and this interview after the WC shows really intense pressure and maybe not that much enjoyment in what he's doing. I think the off-season will be important for him to relax a bit and re-calibrate. He's clearly immensely talented, I don't think there's enough in it to suggest he's regressing. Just a bad couple of months after the first big setback of his career – happens!
