Are you happy with where you’re at?
I still want to be doing better. I feel like this last 18 months I’ve really come on with my riding, understanding things I never used to and making strong and consistent steps with my riding. The truth is I’m loving racing right now, more than I ever have, because I’ve taken the pressure off myself. I’ve always wanted to do better, push harder and be more, but I’ve learned to relax and the results keep coming. I guess the big challenge is to consolidate third in the championship and then I’ll start focusing on what’s coming next. When I look back, it’s been one hell of a journey so far. I’m proud to have got to where I am and I feel like the next five years are going to be my best yet. I’ve got the right amount of motivation, experience and desire. As a kid I knew I had what it took to reach the top and I still feel like I’m on my journey. I’m not world champion just yet, but I believe I’ve got what it takes.
What does it take to be the best?

Sensational Suzuki Live - Blending decades of motorcycles, racing legends, track time and a beer tent with a cracking band, Suzuki Live's formula proved a winner for the thousands there.
Blending decades of motorcycles, racing legends, track time and a beer tent with a cracking band, Suzuki Live’s formula proved a winner for the thousands there. As motorcycling events go, Suzuki Live's 2024 effort is surely set to take some topping. Held over two days at the iconic Cadwell Park circuit, the event played host to a list of two-wheeled legends and a mixed bag of iconic Suzuki machinery spanning five decades.

It's been a busy old month but so good being back in the thick of it. Despite the great British weather, it finally feels like summer is here, and I've been all over the place with some really great events since we spoke last month.
Christian Iddon
It's a long time since I had that feeling... 1057 days, to be precise, and if you were to ask if 'that day' was the day it would happen again, then I would have bet all my worldly belongings against it.

LONGTERMER KAWASAKI ZX-6R
Last month, I was gearing up to consign my ZX-6R to the back of my garage while I disappeared for the best part of three weeks to work at the TT with Batham's Racing.
YAMAHA WABASH RT
When you live a life of wheelies, burnouts and fast laps on race tracks, it's hard to spot a midlife crisis... but six months on in the saddle of Yamaha's Wabash e-bike, I daresay that's exactly where I'm at. I'll be honest, cycling isn't for everyone, and quite frankly, Lycra is even more polarising, but for me, life on two wheels, be it powered or pedalled, has formed my staple diet for as long as I can remember.
