Georgia Elvin is killing it in the Supersport 150 class of this year's New Zealand Superbike Championship! She chats about taking up motorcycle riding at the old age of 9 (yes apparently that is late!!!) and the hard physical and mental work of competing. Georgia also discusses the advantages of being a woman racing with men and how her competitive friendship with other female riders only makes her go faster.

Good luck with the rest of the series Georgia!
