and props to you mate yeah thanks man thank you all right laurie greenland uh first race back in a year yeah how

was it to be back honestly dude so nice to be back just uh it's weird man like spent my whole life with all you people and uh had quite a long time away so just like come and touch base with everyone like on a selfish for me personally like just actually coming and seeing all the people that you spent so much time with been uh kind of catching up with everyone has been super nice dude yeah

And what was your reason to want to come back here?

Well, we've been developing this new forbidden platform for the new downhill bike, and it's kind of one of them things that you can test as much as you want outside of a World Cup, but until you get...

the bike on the world cup track on that kind of terrain it's just not the same so yeah we come to actually get that bike on the on the terrain and kind of test it for me personally i knew it was going to be a tool order actually qualifying or like i mean It's been a bit of a time out for me.

I knew it was going to be a tall order, actually qualifying or being competitive.

I just come to see everyone and get involved and test the bike.

It was really nice.
