A lot of young riders seem to be good at one thing.

At this level, you see a few guys with capes and S's on their chest. Vince Young is one of them.

I don't know, we'll have to see. Daniel's (Ramsey) riding well and we have some other good riders … I'm not as consistent — I know that. But beyond that, I don't really know. I haven't been tested on any real climbs. I'm as much of a question mark as anyone out here.

He's been the most dominant rider the last 15 years, and one of the most accomplished riders ever. He's in there with guys like Pincay, Shoemaker, Arcaro, Day. He's one of us, no doubt.

Phew, that was a close one. I just didn't seem to be able to get any good waves. I was lucky to get through that heat.
