“ I love the quality of the cages. They are very tight, which minimizes the chance to lose the drink bottle. Plus the Torpedo is just awesome to race with, as you don’t need to take your hands off the pedals when you drink.„

Fun Fact: My nickname Angry Bird came up last season. My coach Brett Sutton suddenly started to call me Angry Bird during a swim session, as I made this face when I'm concentrating. I had no idea what angry birds were, so checked them out online and found out that Stella is the only girl. She’s described as ambitious, likes when there is something going on and gets bored very easily. This was pretty much spot on how I would describe myself.
My advice, tips or tricks for you!: Training with the Torpedo is for sure a good way to get used to race position. So you know in the race where to put the head, as you have the straw tipping your nose, head or chin. This helped me to find my race position.
