“I CRASHED IN THE FIRST<br />
CORNER...I REMEMBER THAT<br />
IT WAS DIFFICULT FOR ME TO<br />
BREATHE, I HAD BLOOD IN MY<br />
MOUTH...YOU THINK ABOUT THE<br />
BIKE AFTERWARDS AND WHEN YOU<br />
ARE ALMOST READY TO RIDE AGAIN<br />
BUT ALL THESE NEGATIVE THINGS<br />

dealing with more force. It is<br />
something we had to work<br />
