Do you think living in the Cape gives you an advantage, as it is the ideal training ground in Summer? Many people think so, but I think there is more to just having loads of wind. Cape Town seems to be the best training ground for the top riders, however I think Brazil, Dominican Rep, Venezuela and Mauritius are better locations to practise new tricks. Once a trick is mastered , rehearsing it in sometimes tough Cape Town conditions certainly prepares one well for the different conditions on tour.
