Speaking via Facebook about this topic, plus also his overall reflections on his third Manx GP voyage, he said:
“This has been a good year! much gained from the last race. I still feel like I’m in control. In fact, I’m safer now I’ve been before. I know it well now (Mountain Course).
What next year brings TT or Manx, I don’t know? You have to make it a big deal, as it gets so expensive. So most likely be back at the Manx and get into Tommy Club (120 mph laps). Want to thank everyone who has contributed, the Norwegians who have been present and everyone who’s been watching.”
