Best Memories

Win after win in India, 2010 and becoming the International Champion. Every rider going into a big event usually believes they can win. On any given day, you honestly believe that you could be the best, and at the very least, it was validation to me of where I felt I was competitively in the racing world. Winning 7 out of 8 races in Teeside on a 600cc bike for the first time was very special too.

Hopes and thoughts for 2011

2010 was a long season and I learned a lot. My aim this year, as always, is to deliver a good and consistent performance across the year. I will continue my march forward towards the front of the grid, seize the slightest opportunity and do better than last season. Ambitions are certainly higher than last year and work has progressed very well over the winter with targets being met and exceeded but as with every team at this stage of the season, until we all roll our new bikes out at the pre-season tests and, more realistically, turn up for the first qualifying session we won't know just how competitive we are against the other teams and bikes. What I do know is that I feel ready to deliver. I'm determined to do well and fight hard. I am committed and dedicated. I live to race and my goal is to win. I'm motivated to start another season with some winning momentum.

A tremendous effort has gone in at all levels and a huge thanks to all of you out there who have helped me – who still help me. I am so grateful to my sponsors, present and future and I hope to repay you all with some great and entertaining racing, fastest laps and podium finishes.
