Mike laughed, did that rider really think that he could beat the great, invincible Mike? Mike was a pro, he had been riding a bike even before he could start walking! Years of training had brought him to now, the peak of his career. He had never felt better, nor more prepared. Some may even call him cocky, but what did Mike care? Mike could beat anyone any day. Soon, soon, Mike would feel that rush of victory. Even after all these wins, it still feels the same. Amazing. Like he was the king of the world, and no one was more superior than him. Kim would have hearty meal waiting for him afterwards -after all the press had taken his pictures. How would he pose today? Trophy over his head? Nah, this race wasn't anything special. Need to reserve those poses for the BIG ones. No, something modest, yeah. Give the public a nice impression. Mike was going to be here for a long time, and they better get used to it.
