Day 1 - P5 Timed Training. Track here is as brutal as ever. The torrential rain last night meant the track got super beat this morning, itβs tough out there, but fortunately the M1 eats it all! ππ»

Stoked with the new setup, but disappointed with my performance in semi finals today. Big mistake not having any tear offs at the top, rain came in whiles warming up and couldnβt see much in my run. 0.9s off making finals, absolutely gutted.

A phone call from , to an insane 2 years with this amazing crew. A dream come true and a ton learnt working with some of the worldβs best athletes, mechanics & engineers.
Iβd like to say a huge thank you to every single one who were involved; & Cathy for running a great show, for a once in a lifetime opportunity & openly sharing your wisdom on & off the track, for keeping the vibe high & always delivering positivity to the crew. All the mechanics for incredibly supportive and fun relationships, & of course & for open & honest relationships where we pushed each other &, had each others backs, all whiles having a great time doing so.
Sure sad to see this group separate, but has given me great experience for whatβs to come. See you at the races βπ»ππ»
