Crashing, enduring, winning the overall GP and then learning of the championship by one point: there cannot have been many crazier thirty minute periods in your career…
It is quite difficult to talk about it now. When you win the championship you don't really realise it until the day after. I’m a bit confused at the moment! We knew we had to come here and go 1-1 this weekend and I managed the first part but the second race was a bit weird. It was a strange situation. We didn't have warm-up so I wasn't sure where I would put my wheels and the track was almost under water. I saw it would be a difficult race. When you stand behind the gate and you see the track in that condition then you know it will be a lottery and you just have to survive. It was not about riding skill. I knew if I started first then I needed to ‘go’ and if I didn't I’d have to try to save the race and reach the end; which is what I did after trying to push and crashing three times. I said to myself ‘you cannot push, just do your rhythm and try to get around to the finish’. I could do it…and Nancy couldn't and that was enough for one little point to finish the championship. I was strange because I didn't know where I was or how were the standings or who was leading. It is disorientating racing in the mud.
