Looking back on Nikki Harris’ season

The only thing worse than being defeated in a fair and square race is not having the chance to race at all and that is exactly what has happened to Nikki Harris. She was one of the great surprises of this season. She’s been around for but she started to shine this year. She started winning races and she started to consistently beat big names.

It was great to see her getting faster and faster and I was sad to hear that she would have to miss the Worlds because a knee injury. On the flight last night I went through my archives and I put together a short gallery with ten photos of her season. Enjoy.
