The chapter opens with a description of the 2000 circuit, which is described as "challenging the unknown" . The track is so heavy that it feels like "chains pulling me back" , and the hairpins are so long that the rider feels cramped. The chapter ends with a discussion of the concept of "macro functioning," which refers to situations in which a person's actions are performed in response to a single command, but when "unfamiliar elements" are present, those actions cause the familiar "macro functions" to go wrong, leading to fatigue.
