ANIKA Loftus has been making headlines at Edinburgh this season as the first female racer from Australia to compete in British league racing. In this week's magazine, we talk to the 18-year-old and her younger brother Jordy ahead of her National Development League debut: “Racing against guys can be tough. Sometimes when you come into the pits and you’ve beaten one of the boys, their dads will have a go at them. And you overhear it, which isn’t always great. When I’m out there on track, we’re all racers and competitors and I don’t think gender really matters at that point. I do think there might be a little bit of an edge towards beating me from guys but I just give it back to them. It’s good for women in sport, breaking down barriers and everything like that. But at the end of the day I just want to be known as a good motorcycle racer rather than a good female motorcycle racer."
