The way he started his Rookies Career, running right at the front in the early races made it look as though he would soon be a podium regular and perhaps a race winner.

That didn't happen but he remained a solid performer. His aims are simple and clear.

"I want to follow my hero Valentino Rossi and be a World Champion. I start riding motocross when I was 6 and then I just thought it was fun. Then when i was 12 I tried my first road racing bike and I have enjoyed that ever since."
