PRETTY FAST<br />
Q: Do you feel intimidated out on track<br />
with the guys?<br />
Anja: It was quite intimidating the first race,<br />
as you know it’s a male dominated sport,<br />
but then I realised they just view me as<br />
another racer. And I must say all the guys<br />
have been quite supportive and helpful on<br />
and off the track.<br />
Landi: I think the guys are more intimidated<br />
by me....hahahaha<br />
Q: Who are your favourite racers?<br />
Anja: All-time favourite would definitely<br />
be Valentino Rossi, female racer Sabine<br />
Holbrook and local favourites Sheridan<br />
Morais and Brad Binder.<br />
Landi: Valentino Rossi and Jonathan Rea.<br />
Q: Is it all just for fun or is there a<br />
serious side?<br />
Anja: Well it’s definitely fun to be able to<br />
race, as I believe you always have to enjoy<br />
what you do. So for me there is a big fun<br />
factor to it, but I would say that there is<br />
the serious side too. As at the end of the<br />
day it’s racing and you want to make sure<br />
that you constantly improve and being a<br />
sponsored rider you also want them to see<br />
that even though you enjoying the racing<br />
you are trying your best every race and<br />
giving your best representation being a<br />
brand ambassador.<br />
Landi: From the moment I climb on my<br />
bike it becomes serious, but the most<br />
important is to remember to have fun.<br />
Q: Future plans?<br />
Anja: Being my first season of racing and<br />
loving it, I would like to continue to be part<br />
of the Milwaukee Race team and family and<br />
race for as long as possible. It would be<br />
an absolute dream to be able to move into<br />
the National racing and compete alongside<br />
our best local racers and maybe one day<br />
race internationally. So far for next year<br />
I’m wanting to build on my current years’<br />
experience and hopefully with the added<br />
experience some new opportunities and<br />
doors will open.<br />
Landi: My main goal is to race in the Isle of<br />
Man 2021.<br />
We would like to say thank you to both<br />
ladies for taking the time out to answer our<br />
questions and wish them both nothing but<br />
the best going forward. Also a big thanks<br />
to Milwaukee Power tools for not only<br />
sponsoring these two awesome ladies but<br />
for also putting money into and supporting<br />
the sport we love so much!<br />
