“We are riders, and we want to compete, but in the end, that’s the way it is, so naturally, it’s an opportunity to grow and try to improve in every way – in every way, including my riding.

“Hopefully, it’s something that can really help me. I was really expecting a punishment, because it’s a sign you shouldn’t do it.”

“Also, I waited a bit before I went to apologize to the steward, because I didn’t want people to think that I was in a hurry to say sorry just to avoid the punishment.
