mental game enough to throw down the low-
est score in Qualifying. Donna Fox, who was
in third place, was still coming to grips with
coming across the pond: “The sections are so
different, we ride natural sections most of the
time. The Super Trial sections are very square
and hoppy, and there is only one line to take;
in our sections you can afford to be a little off
your line and get away with it. The girls are
improving their game on both sides of the
pond, but over here you ride different rules
which is where the stumbling block occurs.
I’m fortunate to have been around several rule
changes, so I have the experience of actual
no-stop in the early days, to stop-allowed, to
the no-stop of today. I was surprised at how
technical the sections were, I wasn’t expecting
a walk in the park, but I didn’t anticipate the
sections being so challenging. It was good for
me; I like the level the US ladies are at.”
