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 />
