Phelps Sport asked several top riders about what they missed the most about not being able to compete. McLain Ward gave a surprising answer: "I never considered myself a social person but I really miss the other riders".
“I miss the competition. I love the battle to win or lose. It’s what motivates me and it is what I get my most fulfillment from. I miss the travel and the excitement of being in a new part of the world. Even if you’ve been there 100 times before, each time you visit there are new experiences and great memories. I also miss the interaction with my fellow competitors. I never have thought of myself as a very social person but in this unprecedented time I have found I’m very much missing the interaction with riders I respect and enjoy talking with and being around.”
