Q) After a month off are you
excited about the busiest month of the year?
A) I can’t wait. I haven’t ridden a bike for four weeks now. I’ve been to all
three circuits previously and last year at Oschersleben things went really well
so I can’t wait to get back on.
Q) With contracts up for renewal is there any added pressure to perform in the
final three races?
A) Yes and no. It’ll make life a lot easier to get a good job next year but then
again things are sorting themselves out, teams are talking to me already. So
there is pressure but I put a lot of pressure on myself, I don’t think there is
a lot from anywhere else.
Q) Have you given much thought to where and who you might be riding with next
year?
A) Well there are a lot of teams talking. There’s an opportunity to go into the
world grand prix also staying with world supersport and world superbike. We’ll
see what happens. I’m fairly confident I’ll be staying in a world championship
we’ve just got to try and win one now.
Q) At the last round of the
championship the bike struggled. Have you made any changes?
A) At Brands it was mainly a tyre problem. Most of the Michelin
riders had a problem with the front tyre there. Michelin
know there was a problem, they’ve done a lot of development and so have my
engine builders. They’ve found some more horsepower for this weekend so I can’t
wait.
Q) You’re attempting to be the youngest rider to ever win a World Supersport
race. Does that drive you on?
A) To be honest I’ve never really thought of it. But yeah it would be a really
great honour to be the youngest ever winner so hopefully I can do it.
