I have to ask, I noticed in the last, I think it was the last stage up the final climb, I noticed you had the earpiece out.
go there? For the last day I had it in, the second last day I took it out, basically I was already on my limit and I just wanted to...
just not have another voice in in my ear because i knew i was dropped i knew i was losing time i was just trying to do it as fast as i could um whereas for the final day we were still in it and we could still see the group of jorgensen skelmos and these guys so it was good to have the uh the the communication with the car our ds i love him loves to talk as well sometimes a bit too much and actually after 5k in this climb maxine went on the radio and said patchy too much um and then he really died down to the end because i mean maxine and i basically knew exactly what we had to do um and yeah but but i i pulled that piece out and and yeah i was just i i apologized to my ds after that i did and it was like you don't have to apologize like it's it's you running the race at that point all you can do is go as fast as possible so you had enough head noise you didn't
I think you'd cop a fair bit of flack from the DS if you were to do a whole stage without your radio piece in.
But it's fascinating for me because I've obviously been in a few team cars over the journey.
And does that actually make a difference? Because I would think when a director's yelling in your ear going, Come on, come on, give it everything.
My reply would be like, no shit, what do you think I'm doing? Like, it could actually go the other way.
Yeah, for the last maybe two kilometres, it's good because you're just trying, I mean, you're already on the limit and then you've got to empty yourself even more.
But up until that point, it's kind of like... you know what to do in that situation.
The DSs know that at that point, there's nothing that they can really do either other than just give updates, basically.
So it's my, I'm still learning about what information I actually like, how much information, what type of information.
Yeah, I mean, it's all, I'm all, I don't really have a preference or not so far because I'm still so new to it.
