I am extremely happy to be starting my second season in Centurion colours. We had a good first season winning the British Supersport Cup Championship in 2007, and I think we have learnt a lot to take forward into 2008. Of course my expectations are higher for next season. I set out to learn in 2007 and I feel I have had a great year working with one of the most professional teams in the sport. I am now looking forward to a good testing program in Spain and roll on Brands in April 2008. I have every confidence in myself and the people working around me and that we can challenge for the title. I'm looking forward to be back winning races and having a great team-mate in Dennis Hobbs to learn from. I would just like to thank Gary and Paul for another great opportunity.
