You've got to hand it to Bilko, the guy goes big or he crashes trying. But this "All Or Nothing" attitude has caused the likable Aussie Larrikin more pain than gain in his colourful career that has seen him rise to the highest level of the sport, and at the same time to the depth of despair spending way too much time on the couch recovering from one injury after another. Talking to Bilko in 2011 he seems like he's ready to make some big changes in the way he goes about things. He's tired of being the guy who only sees six months of the season every year. He's tired of spending too much time on the couch. He's tired of being carted off the course in an ambulance. He's adjusted his outlook and ready to take a step back if he has to instead of always having to try and win every competition he enters. Bilko is a new man, he's fit and healthy, has a new machine with more power, and is ready to show the world he's capable of running with the best for a full season.
Here's how our phone convo unfolded when we called him up last night to chat about all this and more.
