"I am really looking forward to it; this will be the first race road race I've really wanted to do, as it's a bit different. I have to admit though it feels a bit wrong, taking your best bike and riding in some rough terrain, it's like when you were a kid riding your bike really fast through puddles, you just knew it was wrong, but it was such good fun and in a way this is how this race feels. That's probably why I'm looking forward to it!"
