Commenting via Facebook about the latest foremost chapter of his racing career, he stated in succinct, enthused fashion:
“Buildbase Suzuki turned out a perfect bike for me to ride and claim my 7th title. Becoming the most successful rider in history around there.
Thanks for everyone who came and showed their support over the weekend it was a great turn out for the club.”
