Well we are only a few days away from the very first round of the 2012 British Superbike championship and I personally cannot wait to get to Brands Hatch and get back into the racing groove. Testing is great but racing is why we get out of bed!

We have had two trips to Spain, one in October and one in February. We have a bike that is very different to the one I first rode at Donington Park last year, and I am eager to see where we lie. It is great to be a Team WFR rider this season, after a demoralising start to 2011 it was a boost to be wanted by the team and for them to give me my chance this year. The team is so professional and that is so important to when competing at this level. If you dont do it properly you might as well leave the bikes in the truck!

I feel we have a good chance this year to do well. I have had a great winter, training hard with plenty of cycling, running and gym work and after last year I am better physically and mentally prepared.

speak soon
