I can’t quite get my head round how quickly this year’s gone by, and finding myself at Chamrousse it really struck me that 2017 has literally been non stop. It’s been an incredible summer, alongside the CFM I’ve been to…
There were nearly as many English drivers as there were French this year at St. Gouëno (77/88), and with such a huge home crowd you could say I was highly motivated. I'd spent the week surfing, running and relaxing on…
