Todd Waters: “I have to say that it is a great feeling to be back racing. It was quite a big injury being off the bike for 18 weeks. We used this race as practice and in order to get back the race feeling. Being back riding for only 4 weeks we couldn’t expect too much, so coming away with a 5th was good and the weekend overall was great practice.”
