"What is she doing here?" He asked Gregor, his tone sceptical.
"There are very few riders willing to cto our team, but we shouldn't let someone like that in Goodlooking women like her are just there to show off. Why bring someone like that into the team?" The tension in the air was palpable as Gregor and I walked back to where the team members were gathered.

"Hey, ease up on her," one of them said. "Even if she's not at her best, it's still good to have her around. We need all the support we can get." "Yes," another added, "it's rare to have a female racer in the team. Let's give her a chance before making judgments."
