What race had the best race conditions?Dani George: Argentina. The weather was great, the track was great, the atmosphere was great.

Who had the best looking bike of 2015?
Dani George: You guys see Derek Betcher's Speedco Velox? I like it. It reminds me of a Ferrari.
Best hotel/place you stayed at in 2015?
Dani George: The little place Team USA stayed at during Worlds. I can't remember the name of it but we had it all to ourselves and they cooked lunch and dinner for us. The wifi was crappy but it was riding distance to the venue and a few bars.
Worst travel experience this season?
Dani George: None. Traveling usually goes pretty smooth for me. Argentina was a little rough because I had a tweaked back and the trip is so long but it doesn't stick in my mind as horrible.
