In this episode, we recap the Sacto-Mile weekend, preview this weekend's events in Springfield, and catch up with a young Australian rider, Max Whale. At the age of seventeen, this kid's resume is already something to talk about. We talk about the differences between riding down under, and in the US, what he's learned in the six events he's competed in, and goals for the remainder of his first full season in the AFT singles class.
