“I’m really excited to race Solsona. It’s been a crazy month for me but I couldn’t have wished for better results. Hawkstone Park was amazing, to win in front of your home crowd is something else. Josep has that advantage here in Spain and there are a lot of wildcard riders that I think will upset the results a little, but if I can keep my head down and put in some good days’ riding, I’m confident of another top result.”

“I’ve been looking forward to BR2 Enduro Solsona all year. It’s more than just a Spanish race for me because it’s my home race – it’s happening really close to where I live and I know the area well. It’s where I’ve grown up and so all my family and friends will come to watch. I want to deliver a good result and fight for the win.”

“I’m really looking forward to Solsona, especially after having such a good race at Hawkstone. After injuring my hand last year, it has taken quite a while to recover. It still gave me some issues in England but having had another two weeks to build up a bit more strength I think I’m ready for Spain. The plan is to give it my best shot and hopefully come away with another podium.”

“I think Solsona is going to be a really cool race. It’s based where the Bassella race is at and so I think it’s going to be really spectator friendly. I know the area quite well, so hopefully that should give me a slight advantage. I’m really looking forward to it to be honest, it’ll be tough and there will be a lot of good riders there, but I’m still hoping for a good result.”
