DEBRIEFED: WADE YOUNG
After three hours of racing, Wade Young sat down with On The Pegs and
talked about his experience at Tough Like RORR:
On The Pegs: What did you expect coming in here?
Wade Young: I saw some videos and pictures of the track on Instagram be-
fore I got here, so I sort of had a bit of an idea. But yesterday wasn’t too hard.
It was just pretty easy going. Today they made the track quite a bit harder,
and with the rain that also challenged us a bit. I enjoyed it. Found it challeng-
ing. I was a little bit tired at the end but just tried to keep the wheels turning
and keep flowing and just make no mistakes.
OTP: What was the course like?
WY: It was a lot of single track and a lot of rocks. The rocks were the difficult
part, and also just very tight. No place to rest. Then just trying to make it
through the slippery rocks, especially with the rain and moss on it. That got
challenging. So there was no time to rest, so if you made a mistake and used
energy it took a while to recover. So that was the challenging part.
OTP: Was there any certain place that was especially challenging?
WY: Yeah. They added a new section on that last lap. That was quite challeng-
ing and pretty nice going. I enjoyed that.
OTP: Tell me how your year has been so far this year.
WY: It’s been all right. I was hoping for a little bit better, but everyone’s riding
so good. We just got to keep grinding and stay injury-free. There’s still quite
a few more races coming up, so hopefully we can get some good results like
last year.
OTP: How does it feel to win the race?
WY: Definitely feels good. I think this is my first win in America, so I’m happy
with that. Hope it’s not the last.
