Speaking to The Independent, Croft said: “It’s important to stay fresh throughout the season.” I’m not getting any younger. ”
“I gave up and made a lot of sacrifices for my career. I want to spend time with my family, but not realize that I’m on the other side of the world. I’m also getting married this year so I have to start planning my wedding! »
“But I also want to sit at home and watch the races, so I’m going to take advantage of that. Maybe we can learn something without commenting on race. I sometimes notice certain things when I look. We want to know what our viewers are seeing.
