RIEFED
gear for the last two weeks for Six Days and living off of the Mexican market and I
haven’t been able to spend much. I messed my knee up a couple weeks ago again
and actually fractured my fibia and bruised the bone so the bone is all soft. It’s just
a given. You’ve got a blown-out ACL, things are going to happen. I made a mistake.
So the last couple weeks I haven’t been on the bike. I haven’t been doing what I
needed to do. I don’t know what happened, but something clicked today. We had a
stellar ride. Started out with that test win and stayed top three just about all day in
all the tests. Grant put on a charge there in the middle. The test that he destroyed
us in last year. I kind of expected him to win. The last test he went in and he said,
“You don’t have to win to get the championship.” I said, “Yeah, but you beat me last
week on a track that I should have beat you on, so I’m going to beat you on a track
today that you should beat me on.” So I think we were separated by seconds. It’s
pretty cool. I think over the last couple races only a couple seconds have separated
us for the last few. It’s badass. To be doing it with your brother, it just makes it that
much better. “ n
