AFTER WALKING away with an almostpodium at the first round, the motivation was high to grab the win and seal the deal. Going into the race weekend, I was in a different frame of mind than the last time and it certainly helped. I focused more on pushing myself to the maximum possible than focusing on or chasing others' performance.
On Saturday, after a nutritious breakfast, we headed to the racetrack. As is customary, we were greeted by the sound of roaring engines and high-spirited pop songs being played on teams' speakers as riders warmed up and got ready for their respective races. After a good half an hour of watching bikes go past us, we all sat down for the briefing session. Since this was round two, the session was short and crisp, as most of us had already raced and were aware of the general rules, regulations, and track etiquette.
