Spent a few days last summer with Wattsy, his dad, and a bloke from Colorado named Hayden, that is a buddy of his, riding in my neck of the woods. Shane is a odd guy and likes to joke around. He is a very controlled rider and it was a pleasure to see his skills and attitude at work. It is actually a little tough knowing whether he is messing with you or not. He loves head games. I think racing is fitness, technique, and head games for him. I will say this as well, he never gave an indication of his ability at any time during the days we rode together, he just rode his bike and observed. He is a master.
