Probably, if anything, you know, like we get asked about our relationship as teammates quite a lot.
And I think probably it was actually better at the back end of last year than it was, say, the first six months that we were getting to know each other just because we know each other more and we spend so much time around one another every year.
So it really didn't change much because I think...
We both knew the situation we were in of trying to beat each other and only one of us could win.
We knew all of that, but it never got nasty.
And I think that's a really important thing because I think it would have been very easy for last year to have got nasty.
And, well...
It would have been probably the, you know, if it really got bad, the question of whether one of us was even sat here doing this interview wearing orange.
But I think, you know, just the team dynamics is so important to protect going forwards.
And, you know, obviously we've not quite started this year the way we want, but it would have been so easy for us
the battle of last year to make it look 10 times worse and 10 times worse for a long time.
So I think we both knew that as well.
Yeah, and I think, again, I think we, you know, we obviously had a couple times where we came together, but there was never...
You know, I think in kind of title battles, especially between teammates that have kind of turned sour, there's normally been some element of games or trying to hide stuff or something like that.
And I think for both of us, we're just not really like that.
But also we're not like...
know we've seen that play out as well um and you know i think it doesn't take much to get into that sequence of you know i'm gonna do this and then the teammate goes oh well okay i know you did that so i'm gonna do this and then it just escalates and i think you know for both of us even if we did have problems i think they were never intentional um
And even if we felt like we'd crossed the line, either we were good.
We never had to confront each other, but I think we both kind of knew if we'd crossed the line ourselves and went, my bad.
And the team held us accountable for that as well.
