Stewart was not impressed, saying the throat infection which forced him out of the first Olympic selection race, the Sydney World Cup, was bad luck. I don't care what Greg thinks, it makes no difference to me, and his opinion doesn't mean a damn thing when it comes to selection. Everyone is grasping at straws and are out for themselves. It is one of the only times you will see the Aussie guys going against each other. Normally we are all pumping each other up for a good Aussie result, whereas this time everyone wants to cut each other's throat.
Stakes are high.
This is it. I want to stay out of it, that's why I'm not staying with the team. I don't want to get mixed up in all that. I want to do my own race. Bennett believes Stewart may have already run his best race, when he won last month's national championships.
