His kilometre splits were 6:29, 6:36, 6:43, 6:48, and 6:24, with the last kilometre the quickest of the race by 24 seconds compared with the fourth.

He also improved his position by 202 places from 1km to 2km before settling around the same overall range. For a quicker overall time next time, the main opportunity is to hold the early rhythm more evenly through the middle kilometres.
