“It has always been in my mind to have a go on the roads. I know quite a lot about the North West (200) because I visited here in 2015 and I am friends with Martin Jessopp and Ian Hutchinson.

I want to integrate riding at the North West with my Superbike plans in 2018. My main focus is becoming BSB champion but I definitely want to come and race the North West.

I wouldn’t be coming to the North West trying to win or even to make the top ten in my first year. I love the North West atmosphere though and I wouldn’t be worried about results as long as I was enjoying it.

If you enjoy it then you can get sucked along and maybe get into a group and then you never know what will happen.”
