Stepping up from being a great rider locally to attempting to compete at a much higher level can make or break riders. If you are winning easily at home for too long you can get soft and lose some of that mental fortitude and when you step out into a higher level you can be easily broken. The best in the world have usually gone through hell in some way and their determination and self-belief get them through.
