The New Zealand road cyclist Julian Dean admits to being somewhat relaxed about his event at the Olympics, which he hopes will benefit him in Beijing today.
The four-time Tour de France rider is also about to take part in his fourth Olympics.
He'll be in a three-strong New Zealand team which also includes Tim Gudsell and Glen Chadwick.
It's a hilly course which doesn't suit the sprinter, but he says the one-off nature of this ride will hopefully help him.
