Hey everyone,
I thought that the last blog of mine was going to be the last I wrote but I've had an interesting last few weeks so I thought I'd let yous know. Well after the final race of Misano I finally went back to Australia. I didn't do much and then 2 weeks later was Phillip Island so I went to watch. I had a real good time except the weather wasn't the best.
When we were driving home on the Monday I got a call from Aki from Ajo Motorsport and he asked me if I wanted to race the GP in Malaysia that week because his son injured himself. I was so excited to finally race in a GP and do it on a 125. When I got there it was really hot and I knew it was going to be hard. For me it was the hardest race I've ever done, not only because they were so fast but the weather killed me. I ended up finishing 20th and I was not so happy about the result but at least I got a taste of what the world championship is like.
2 weeks later I had to come back to Europe for the Rookies presentation in Valencia at the FIM awards ceremony. It was really cool to be on the stage with the GP riders. A week later I was racing at the Valencia round of the Spanish championship with the same bike I rode at the GP in Malaysia. I was going a lot better than I was in Malaysia but still not as fast as the front guys. The race was half wet and half dry and I went out on slicks and for the first 5 laps I was riding like a girl but after I found a good rhythm and was passing some riders. I finished the race in 7th position which I thought was not so bad.
From Spain I flew to Austria and I stayed with Gustl for a week. It was -6 degrees and everything was frozen. Its the coldest I've ever been in. Then from there I came to Fuschl to go to the Red Bull training centre. I've been doing tests to see what level I'm at and what level I should be at. And then finally the biggest thing for me was when they announced that I was riding for the Red Bull KTM team next year in Moto 3. Im so happy and it's a dream come true so far and I want to thank Red Bull and Ajo Motorsport and all my sponsors for giving me the opportunity to race in the world championship. So it's been an interesting few weeks but now I have to train hard so I'm ready for next year!
