Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 2017![]() ![]() Last Updated (Monday, 19 December 2016 08:24) The Goodwood Revival on 9-11 SeptemberTo the fans in attendance at The Goodwood Revival on 9-11 September, My apologies for the last minute decision, but after much deliberation I have decided that I no longer wish to road race competitively at any level, and therefore will not be attending The Goodwood Revival as originally planned. Thinking back to when I retired from Grand Prix competition in 1995, I waited until the last minute trying to convince myself that it was going to get better, and just before heading to the airport for the fourth race of the season I made the decision that I no longer wanted to put my butt on the line. I called the team and said I wasn’t coming and retired at that moment, with ironically and unbeknownst to me at the time, 34 points. For me, it is not possible to just get on the bike and ride for fun, I will want to ride to the limit and try and win and that risk is not something I am interested in taking anymore. My hope is that each of you respect my decision and despite my absence, have a stellar weekend as Lord March and his Goodwood staff always provide. Sincerely, |
