Q1: When you first competed at the Manx, what was your first initial thought of the Mountain Course?
“Incredible those quick sections, you can’t imagine from viewing on-board videos, what a treat.”
Q2: Most memorable Manx GP bike?
“All of them. My ZX6R (Kawasaki) for power and was my first real racing machine. My 1990 400 ZXR Kawasaki, amazing and so funny.
Plus also special but not Manx GP related, my old ZXR750 Kawasaki for the Classic TT, I hope to improve it for next year. Was a fantastic moment the first time down Bray Hill with this bike, because I have rode 400,000 Kilometres previously with this bike.”
