Along for a ride with me!

Two minutes till the start, the gate is open, your mechanic gives you a good push and the bike comes alive. In these two minutes you run the whole checklist once again, is my fuel open, are my goggles comfortable and you already think the whole race ahead. You prepare your starting gate and hope it will be enough to beat the rest to the first corner. Full throttle, you dump the clutch, you shift at exactly the right moment and shoulder to shoulder you steer into the first corner. Whilst still in the first corner you are already thinking two ahead. Four laps maximum concentration while not thinking too much, you are performing on and sometimes over the limit after all. Once you finish your heartbeat will be around 180 bpm minimun and adrenaline rushes trough your body for the next thirty minutes. Back in the pits you place your bike on the oil absorbing pitt matt and you talk trough the race with your mechanic. He prepares the bike for the next race and it starts all over.
