This is my sixth ISDE and it feels so good to have won with team USA and also to have got the overall individual result. My final moto went well, I got a good start and quickly worked my way into the lead. Then half an hour after my race was over was the worst because I was waiting for a phone call to tell me how Daniel Sanders got on, to find out if I’d got the overall. The team\u2019s been great, we\u2019ve been getting closer and closer to this year-on-year. This one\u2019s for Kurt Caselli.\u201d<\/p>\n
