Our goal was to win in every category, so fall-
ing a little short, finishing second in every cat-
egory obviously is disappointing for the team
and riders, but at the end when it’s all said and
done, you know you gave your best and you
got to be happy. It just wasn’t enough this year,
but we definitely are strong riders and we’re
never going to settle for second anymore. We
need to do our homework and get better. I was
surprised how well Australia did on the trophy
category. I was hoping that we would be closer.
To tell the truth, I was surprised a little bit. But
it’s racing. We did our best we were able to
do. Hats off to Australia and Italy winning the
trophies. I think our team is now even more
hungry because they know that we don’t settle
until we win again. On the way back, the riders
started to talk like, “We got to do this, we got to
do that.” They’re going to be more on it all year
long, not just gearing towards Six Days on the
latter part of the year. So, we recognized our
weaknesses.
