What National – Leicester
Why – Well, I always look forward to racing at any national but I’m really looking forward to Leicester, I rode it the other day for the first time and I feel like it suited me and it’s great fun, also I think it’s going to be wicked for racing with the tight corners! And then Glasgow and gosport as they are both new tracks and I love to ride new tracks.

The track will make for some great racing through all the classes with it’s wide open straights and proper “race track” feel. The berms will be warfare!! This is Huncote Hornets first time running a national and I know they’re working hard to make a proper event of it.

What National – CycloPark
Why – The national in 2018 I’m looking forward to the most is Cyclopark, it’s a very technical track loads of room for mistake and can be very hard to race on because of extreme winds. I also like the fast bensink gate and the fast 3rd straight.

Bike – Limited Edition Pink Speedco
What National – Leicester
Why – New track on the national circuit, only ever been there once and it’s a really nice track. Nothing too tricky and also a lot of fun. The track seems to be suitable for all ages which is good as none of the little guys will struggle around it unlike places such as the indoor! Think the Leicester club will hold a good national for sure

Why – I really like the track at Cyclopark and I’ve had some good results there in the past. Last year I threw away a podium with a silly mistake into turn 2, so I’m looking forward to the opportunity to rectify that. Having some new tracks on the calendar should be good also.

Why – I’m really looking forward to Leicester as the track looks mellow and fast I love watching the ABA rounds for this reason no follow the leader type of racing and flat hill pull!

But also Scotland has a new track for rounds 7/8 and looks to have a pro gate which unfortunately most national venues don’t have nowadays.
