“There are so many people we don’t get to see each other all the time but we are connected. There are these great debriefs that we have but this journey that we have been on all these years has been remarkable.
“And it’s been so enjoyable and it’s crazy that it is 100 and it felt like one of the first. That for me is even more special.

“I think that’s great for the fans and I think that’s exciting for me also, and also the people that are only just behind us,” concluded the seven-time champion.
