I'm very talented at making up excuses to stay where it's warm and comfortable, but getting ready for this challenge is forcing me to keep moving.

This is my third consecutive title and that's great specially because I had a very tough challenge from the French guy.

I look forward to the challenge.

We knew this would be a big challenge, probably the big challenge of the season. That's why I'm so proud of their effort. The home team had a lot of intensity, but we came out and set the tone with our defense and got through a tough, tough game.

It's been a challenge. I've got a lot on my plate but I enjoy it. It's not hard adapting from one series to the other ? they all have four wheels, a pedal and a steering wheel.

It's really a challenge to assess their populations. The only way to really see them is during the spawning run.
