“It was awesome to see such a big crowd this weekend at Cadwell Park. Coming away with 7-7-6 and I’m actually pretty pleased with that! It’s obviously not the results we know we are capable of, but I had much stronger races and there’s certainly some positives to be had. Particularly the final race of the day, although the final results doesn’t look that impressive, I felt like I had one of my strongest races of the season so far. Mid-race we were in a battle, but I was able to make passes and pull away which shows we were much more competitive and able to maintain decent pace right to the final laps.

I have to say a big thanks to my sponsors and especially to my  FHO Racing crew, it’s hard graft for little reward at the moment but we keep working for any gains we can, especially when it’s tough.”

“We struggled a lot on Saturday in the rain with a lack of feeling from the rear and I couldn’t get a lap together that was fast enough. However saying that, I did just miss out on Q2, which really scuppered us moving forward, along with other riders cruising and not looking where they were going during qualifying. We were then so far back on the grid for the opening race, which really makes a difference, especially at Cadwell where it’s just so close and it’s impossible to make the time back up.

On Monday we managed to break into the 26’s finally, and we were regularly there in both races. In the Sprint Race I unfortunately nudged into Danny [Kent] and took him off track, as well as myself. Unfortunately, he went down – it was my mistake and I apologise for that and have apologised to Danny; but that’s racing, I made a very small mistake which resulted in us both across the grass. The final race I made a really good start and hung in there with Josh, Leon [Haslam] and Christian [Iddon]. In fact, for a lot of the race I felt like I was stronger than both Leon and Christian, definitely in the last half of the race I was stronger, but I just couldn’t find a place to pass. Cadwell is super difficult to make passes and I was stronger in unusual places, which made it difficult to be able to pass. To finish inside the top 10, finally, is a little bit of relief if anything, it’s been a real struggle, but we now move forward to Oulton Park where we’ll try and continue this momentum.”

“Cadwell Park is such a special place, not just for my team and Pete who are based there, but also for the fans, riders and teams. It’s so unique; there really isn’t another circuit like it and the atmosphere across a bank holiday weekend is just amazing. I love seeing and meeting all the fans, and being able to get really close to everyone is just magical. The weekend for Josh and Peter was much improved. Josh was consistently in the top 10 and Pete made progress and broke into the top 10. The team have and continue to work so hard to make progress and although it doesn’t always reflect on the overall results they are moving forward and improving each time. I can’t believe we’re on the final stretch to the end of the season with three rounds now remaining, I know the team are going to give it their all and let’s finish on a high!”
