"We're getting prepped and organised for the event now and I‰Ûªm really excited. I'm not expecting too much from the race or myself, it's just good to get some time on the bike and do some roadbook stuff and training. If we come back safe and I have no issues with the wrist then we can start to push for the last round in Morocco. Hopefully, good times ahead and I'm looking forward to it!‰Û
