It's quite easy to start Trials riding. You just need a bike and you're set.

What the other teams do is something that I can never control, so I just keep focussed on my direction.

With roadracing, it takes a lot more time and money.

We've done all the work that HRC wanted on the twin and the project has been completed. We were consistently up there with the top guys and that is what HRC wanted to prove.

So while I was studying, I rode my Trials bike, then I moved to roadracing.

I've decided to retire from top class racing. It has been an incredible experience and has provided with me some unforgettable moments.

I've always like roadracing, but you know how it is in a family when you're young. They thought it was a little too dangerous so I started with Trials riding.
