What’s the point of riding against the clock?To see who’s the man.
Are you happy with your time?I’m not unhappy, but there was plenty of room for improvement, but I won’t start on that one.
How much room was there for error?None if you want to get quickest time. It’s hard not to make an error down that track though…especially in the wet!
Do you think there is a difference between wet and dry conditions in your ability to get up to maximum speed?Well most surfaces we ride on roll slower in the wet therefore you have to put more effort in to get to maximum speed. Also the tyres used for better traction in those conditions generally roll slower as well.
Seventeen runs. Could you have done any more?If I hadn’t crashed my brains out and got a bit more sleep (Sam loves a good snore), and then I don’t see why not.
Would it have made any difference if you’d done the times by yourself, not with rivals?No, my only rival was myself, I would have done exactly the same if it was just me there riding against the clock.
Had a few off’s today. Part of it though?Yeah I suppose, it means you’re pushing yourself, which is a good thing, and I learnt a few lessons. If my every run wasn’t being timed though I think there wouldn’t have been as many early on maybe.
What do you think the time difference is between wet and dry?Well some local boy reckoned it was three seconds, but unless it’s a robot testing in all the possible conditions because wet and dry is fairly unspecific. There’re so many other factors which could effect it, like which ruts are blown out, which rocks have moved and so on.
Any tips on riding the 1:04 hill or any hill?Take your time getting up to speed.
Can Gee Atherton’s minute be beaten in the dry?I think there’re people out there who can go four seconds faster than me in the wet.
You don’t think that some hills have a certain time?Well you think there are limits then Sam Hill gets third in Champery in the pissing rain with a crash.
What are your thoughts on Hill beating everyone by 15 seconds in Champery semi?Awesome.>>
