00:00I mean, in your wildest dreams, did you think 2024 would end like this?
00:04No, definitely not.
00:06Yeah, I'm very happy to be here.
00:09Take me through the night, it was a bit of a rollercoaster.
00:12To be honest, not to be rude, but it was a terrible night for me.
00:16But, yeah, I just, a lot, yeah.
00:19Tim, I think it was just the pressure got to me a little bit.
00:22But, yeah, a few good balls I got on, so, yeah, they just got the better of me.
00:28Couldn't put it any other way, so, yeah.
00:30Having said that, I mean, I think maybe in a little bit of time
00:34you'll look back and realise what a crazy achievement this year's been.
00:37I mean, is it still just sinking in a bit?
00:39Yeah, definitely, like, I sort of, I tried to put it to rest a little bit,
00:44like, this weekend, not put too much pressure on myself.
00:47But, yeah, I definitely think it'll sink in in the next couple of days
00:51and, yeah, I'll be jumping for the roof.
00:54And saw you sort of late in the short go there, cheering your brother on.
01:00I mean, that's a pretty awesome experience, too,
01:03to be right there while he's winning the Grand Prix.
01:05Oh, yeah, definitely. I couldn't be happier for him.
01:07Like, he's an absolute unit.
01:09Like, he just goes out and does what he does best and loves every bit of it.
01:12Like, yeah, all credit to him, to be honest.
01:15If he didn't have four months off at the start of the year,
01:18I guarantee you'd be here doing that interview.
01:20He is one ranked person.
01:23And, well, that might be the case next year.
01:25It's not going to be an easy battle then?
01:26No.
01:27Not just Macaulay, but there's been some great riding this year.
01:30Yeah.
01:31What about all the boys?
01:32I mean, how do you feel about being in this group now that's coming through?
01:35Yeah, they're all doing exceptional.
01:37There was a fair few rookies this year, and we were all just battling it out,
01:40having fun, and we're all great mates.
01:42Like, we just, yeah, love to beer.
01:44It doesn't matter who's winning as long as we're winning,
01:46and, yeah, it's a bunch of fun.
01:48Do you feel ready to get on a plane and go to Canada?
01:51Give me a couple of days and I'll be right.
01:54What are you looking forward most to about that experience?
01:57Oh, the colder weather.
01:58It's a bit warm over here.
02:00But the Bulls, the change of Bulls will be awesome.
02:02I haven't been on the States or anything,
02:05so the change of Bulls will be very good.
02:07And meeting lots of new people, that's, yeah, good to get my name out there.
02:11So, yeah.
