Sometimes on a Friday before<br />
the race you just want to relax<br />
but you can’t. You land, gotta<br />
eat, gotta get to the dealer<br />
signing, do media, get dinner<br />
and get to bed. It’s a full<br />
schedule. It’s not like you are<br />
just hanging out. I don’t think<br />
people see all the other side<br />
of it and sometimes we get<br />
crap for not being outgoing or<br />

from this experience in the<br />
last year and as the seasons<br />
go on I’ll be able to manage<br />
it better and have more communication<br />
with my team to<br />
do that.<br />

If you cannot do it there then<br />

stressed out dealing with that<br />
around the time in 2018 but<br />
you cannot let-up. If you do<br />
that it will affect your results.<br />
<strong>On</strong>e way or another something<br />
has to give. I think my<br />
riding took a bit of a hit. It<br />
was a tough year for me but<br />
valuable in another way and<br />
going into next season I feel<br />
happy and I feel motivated. I<br />
don’t feel the pressure is on
