Four riders coming from New Zealand into the Czech world juniors. A 16-year-old Townley, a 14-year-old, a 13-year-old... an experience like this, taking on your generation's global best at this age, is worth more than anything else. I'll say it flat out: whoever gets tempered by this ends up with an eye for reading the surface that becomes a weapon later. Makes you want to root for a challenge from a small Pacific nation.

Standing on this stage at 13 must be a lot of pressure, both physically and mentally.

Being able to send as many as 4 riders from NZ is proof the development system is solid.

Both a 16-year-old and 14-year-old sibling making it to the world stage together is amazing as a whole family.

Since the brothers seem to be split into different classes, there probably won't be a head-to-head, but still curious.
