My Dad asked if I wanted to finish<br />
it after I broke my legs and I<br />
said ‘no, no, let’s try’.<br />
There were many times when<br />
people were yelling at me that I<br />
was only here because of Dad,<br />
I had no talent and he’d paid<br />
everything, so it has been good<br />
this year to shut up those haters.<br />
Hopefully now I am making<br />
my own name.<br />
Did you get a bit wiser over the<br />
past two years? The motocross<br />
accident must have been a bit<br />
of a wake-up call for preparation…<br />
That was only last year and I<br />
don’t actually ride motocross<br />
any more. Actually that’s a bit<br />
of a lie. I did one day after<br />
Christmas and that was just<br />
to get it out of my head…but<br />
I won’t be training motocross<br />
any more in the middle of<br />
the season. I’ve toned things<br />
down a little bit but I still<br />

for you soon with career<br />
options and handling more<br />
pressure. Do you have anyone<br />
in your corner to help<br />
with that?<br />
Well, just Dad really. He’ll<br />
easily tell me to stop being<br />
a f**king idiot. He keeps me<br />
a bit under control. I have a<br />
safer hobby which is working<br />
on a car, a Volvo Amazon<br />
from 1969. I bought it after<br />
the Super Prestigio two years<br />
ago and have loved that car<br />
since I was fourteen-fifteen.<br />
I got it in Madrid and it was<br />
a bit of a shit-box without<br />
any brakes so I restored it<br />
and got it working. I drove it<br />
for a year but then got a bit<br />
bored. It wasn’t fast enough,<br />
so I looked at some options<br />
for what I could do and I’m<br />
in the process of swapping<br />
