I DIDN’T HAVE ANY GOALS AT FIRST WHEN I SET THE<br />
TEAM UP, I JUST WANTED TO HELP RIDERS AND PUT ON<br />
A GOOD SHOW FOR THE PEOPLE THAT SUPPORT THE<br />
TEAM.<br />
THE FUTURE OF THE TEAM ALL DEPENDS ON ME HAVING<br />
THE FUNDS TO SUPPORT IT AND ME KEEPING THE<br />
INDUSTRY AND NON-INDUSTRY SUPPORT THAT WE<br />
HAVE. WE ARE ONE OF THE BEST UK SUPPORTED TEAMS<br />
OUT THERE AND IF WE KEEP DOING A GOOD JOB, I HOPE<br />
THAT IT WILL LAST. MATT WALKER, FROM KTM UK, HAS<br />
BEEN AMAZING WITH THEIR SUPPORT AND GUIDANCE,<br />
GAS GAS BIKES AND MATERIAL IS SECOND TO NONE, CI<br />
SPORT, TLD ASTAR, RENTHAL, REKLUSE, PERLLIE AND<br />
KAS SUSPENSION, JUST TO NAME A FEW, THEN OUR<br />
NON-INDUSTRY GUYS, FOXWOOD, UNITED, TRU7,<br />
MACDONALD FENCING AND AMV.<br />
CURRENTLY MY DAILY TEAM WORK IS; BUILDING OUR<br />
NEW WORKSHOPS, OVERSEEING THE BOYS IN THE<br />
WORKSHOP AND THE RIDERS AND GENERALLY GETTING<br />
IN THE WAY. MY STAFF ARE SO GOOD THEY CAN BE LEFT<br />
TO IT MOST OF THE TIME. ALSO, WITH BOBBY BEING<br />
OUT WE ARE NOT TRAVELING TO EUROPE MOST<br />
WEEKENDS AND WE ARE USING THAT TIME TO<br />
CONCENTRATE ON THE NEW WORKSHOPS AND THE UK<br />
RACES PLUS MAKING PLANS FOR NEXT YEAR.<br />
IN MY OPINION THE CURRENT CROP OF UK YOUTH<br />
RIDERS NEEDS MORE HELP TO COME THROUGH AS THE<br />
TALENT POOL ISN’T AS DEEP. THAT ISN’T TO SAY<br />
WITHOUT THE RIGHT HELP THEY CAN’T PROGRESS.<br />
IT WOULD BE GREAT TO THINK THAT WE AS A TEAM CAN<br />
HELP SOME OF THESE KIDS TO PROGRESS TO EUROPEAN<br />
AND THEN HOPEFULLY MXGP.<br />
IT WAS A REAL BUZZ TO SEE BOBBY PROGRESS THE LAST<br />
COUPLE OF YEARS AND WE WANT TO CONTINUE THAT<br />
INTO 2023.<br />
