At the time, I swore to myself that I'd never do it again. But the more I thought about it, the more I saw that just finishing the Dakar Rally would be the ultimate experience. |
I think our coaches prepared us pretty well for them. We have a good scouting report on them. They seem to be kind of short inside, I guess, so we want to work the ball down inside, get good shots and be patient. |
I was just getting into the rhythm of the race when the transmission failed, possibly because of a rather hard crash the day before or a second one earlier that morning. The lever broke off and the clutch failed. I was having to jam the bike into gear when that also failed. |
I'm a lot smarter than I was a year ago. |
Just making it to the playoffs isn't enough for us as a team. I think we want to get further than making it to the playoffs. |
