Nick

Declan Queally to the Racing Post: "I was boxing for my position down the inside and there was a lot of general bunching going on, it was competitive down there and I got repeated racial abuse from Nico de Boinville when I was coming in around the corner and then he called me a f*****g p***k a couple of times in front of the ITV camera. "I just didn't talk back to him, thankfully I didn't open my mouth. He tried to single me out as if I was the one causing the hassle. When he was shouting, he was picking on me when trying to hold his position" "Everyone was at fault and I was just rooting for myself. There was no need for it. None of the other lads would do it because they know you can't just single out an Irish amateur rider like that – it's not fair. It was very unprofessional"
