Tory Nyhaug Quotes

If you go too soon, you can come unstuck with 50m left when the guys are going past you.

For most part, the rule of thumb is pretty much you're going to race guys hard the last quarter of the race and for sure the last run of the day. You're still going to give and take until that last pit stop.

I never think: 'If I crash, I'm going to hurt myself.' I might think: 'If I crash, I'm not going to win.' Everything's about that finish line.

My approach to the race is definitely just trying to win the race.

It's about making sure we're there at the end of races and we get the best possible finish we can. What comes with that is being able to have realistic expectations and not trying to do something more than what the car is capable of, so it's a team effort for sure.

At the end of the day I want to be the first rider across that finish line and I'll just find the quickest and easiest way to do it.

A guy like me, yes, I am good in terms of championship races, and that's where I dominate - but in terms of running fast times, I haven't quite done that.

The other sprinters are big and powerful but I have different strengths. The first thing is my leg speed.
