Why do we race ourselves and encourage and support our loved ones to do the same, knowing that days like yesterday will happen?
Well, noone knows better than Stella how bad things can be, but this is what she had to say today on another website:

"Just home and yes it was raining .... We had a good day out with Grant though, back to the bottom rung of the ladder at only his 3rd ever road race meeting.

Qualified 34th finnished 16th in his race and 7th production bike home

Was great to see the smiles as he came into parc ferme and it reminded me just why we go racing

Because we want to, no pressure just a sport that the kids were born into, and as parents how proud we must be that they spend their hard earned money enjoying a hobby that allows them to express themselves on track, make so many friends and a pleasure to be around. "
