I guess we had better start with some news then! I’ll be riding with Chaz Davies in the factory Aruba.itWorldSBK squad for 2020.

It all came together a few weeks ago after Bautista decided he didn’t really want to sort terms to stay with them for next year. It’s not going to change my strategy. This was part of my plan. Whether it was this year or next year, I wanted to get to WorldSBK and prove myself. I still want to win the title here in BSB – that's my main goal – but now I’ve got this sorted, it’s given me a bit of space to get my head down and do what I’ve got to do. I don’t have to keep proving myself to others, I can just prove things to myself now the deal is done.

ROUNDING OFF
At this point, I'm supposed to pick a bike from the group as my winner, but when it comes to it, the truth genuinely is that it's impossible.
