Fitzgibbon and Tesch’s campaign in Miami started with some bad luck when they missed a race due to technical issues with Fitzgibbon’s seat set-up.
“The start of our week was a bit up and down. We started with a bullet and then suffered some gear failure with my canting seat” Fitzgibbon explained.
They overcame their initial setback and by day two Fitzgibbon and Tesch had taken the lead and never handed it back winning with a four-point advantage over their closest rivals Alexandra Rickham and Niki Birrell from Great Britain.
