    What is your race programme looking like?

    Very hard with most races being UCI 1.1  and maybe a few tours so everyone will be fighting for selection. There are some very strong riders so it will be a challenge

     

    Are you going on a training camp with the team?

    I was ment to be going spain training camp but its too much travelling. I've been to Belguim twice for contract sighnings and team the presentation so I'm sticking with UK training roads which is like a training camp in my area due to the number of Pros aout like the Downings, Ben Swift and Graham Briggs who I get to tran with on a regular basis

    When are you heading out to Europe?

    I am going Belgium feb 16th and come home for the nationals then I'll be back in Belguim until October
