BEST WISHES, SAM

Cycling has been in the news with BMX rider Sam Willoughby suffering a serious injury. Does that make you think about the risks you take on the bike?

AI don’t know him personally but whenever anyone gets injured in any sport you feel for them, don’t you, and then straight everyone’s worried about: “Why are you doing the dangerous sport for?” But you can get hurt doing anything and I think that supporting him is the best that everyone can do. You get some bad injuries in downhill but from personal experience, I try not to let it bother me. If you want to step outside your comfort zone, there’s always a risk. There’s not much to say about it except good luck, Sam.
