Latest Nicky Questions & Answers

Question from Nicole - Germany

When you (nicky) get home between the European races or travel from one time zone to another, how do you handle this? How do you find a sleep-wake-rhythm that keeps you halfway fit, and doesn’t the whole system get messed up? i remember coming home to germany from a trip to florida - i felt sick for an entire week because of the jet lag so i could really need some useful tips on that ;-)  you don´t really have time to adjust to european time when you go to brno for example; i guess you´ll arrive on Wednesday or Thursday so you have 2 days maximum - is that really enough to compensate a time offset of 7 or 8 hours?

Nicky

Only advice i got for ya is that ya got to get a lil tuffer!! Yeah, its not always so easy for me. Europe is easy thou' and really only feel it for about a day, but asia is a bit of a diff story that can be a real drag when there is a 12 hour change, but if u gonna be in Motogo better learn to deal wit a lil jet lag...

Nicole

Your tyre man told me that the noise in the paddock from the camping site in Valencia is even worse than here at Sachsenring - how can you sleep there at all, do jour job the next day and keep your eyes open ?! i live like 2 kilometers from the Sachsenring and i still hear that like it was right in front of my door! i mean - this only happens once a year so i must admit that this kind of background noise has something exciting for me. but i wouldn´t want to be down there and have to listen to t his until 4 in the morning, i don´t think earplugs will help very much...

Nicky

Yeah they like to get wild, i sleep with the radio on and normally its not too bad. Some times when they drop a big bomb the whole motor home will rock, but its cool to help get ya fired up for the race!!!
