If I’m at the start you will always see me giving my very best. So when last weeks national championships was on the program of course I was there to race full gas as I always do. Some might...

I guess some people would say I’m pretty lucky, believe me, I’ve definitely had my fair share of crashes but nothing to serious. And although ribs are very painful, and yes, I have had to sneeze… OUCH. I am still able to ride my...
