Taking the championship lead in Southwick's sand, and by a young rider from New Zealand no less. That sand tests a rider's stamina and skill down to the bone. That he took the top spot while not even satisfied with his own riding is, if anything, proof of how much more he has in him. Davies - this is real talent. It makes me want to follow him.
