Set to stick with his trusty ZX6R Kawasaki mount for the 2019 roads season, he recently candidly reflected via his Facebook page on Sunday’s competition at Jurby, plus touched slightly on prospective Manx GP action.

“Great way to end the season! Finished the 4 hour endurance 2nd in the 600 class behind Andy Dudgeon and 3rd overall!

Definitely first overall in the running race! Struggled with the bike all day with fuel starvation but managed to bring it home! Now to get the bike fixed and ready for next season to see what the Manx GP is all about!

Thanks to team mate Michael Evans, Andy Grimshaw at Grimshaw Racing, Nathan Harrison, Glenn Harrison, Greg Sheard, Mark Kneen, Rob Evans and Tom Burnett for their help today as well as all the race officials and everyone that made it happen! Much appreciated!”
