My Way

Greatest moment of your career?

Winning my first Superbike race in my rookie year at Sydney Motorsport Park.

Toughest race ever?

The race that was the greatest moment of my career! Race two, round six, of the 2014 Swann Insurance Australasian Superbike Championship at Sydney Motorsport Park.

Long-term goal?

Win a world championship, either MotoGP or WSBK.

Favourite track?

Phillip Island, because it’s so fast and flowing which suits me and the way I like to ride.

Arch-rival?

No one in particular, I’m just trying to beat every other Superbike racer.

If you weren’t a racer, you would be?

Probably a soccer player, because I was doing that when I was five years old until I was about 10 and started racing motorbikes.

Greatest inspiration?

Valentino Rossi. As a kid, I watched him dominate, which is the ultimate, and I’d like to be able to do that one day.

Superstitions?

Race day underwear.

Training methods?

A strong emphasis is on cardio involving road cycling, running and mountain biking. I also spend a lot of time in the seat on my race bike, which helps me stay conditioned for racing.
