Highlights of 2023
Being supported through the Nora CRS Development programme and another year of sponsorship from EvenStrokes has really helped my 2023 season.
2023 was my first season on the 125cc, after a really successful year on the 85cc in 2022. Fitness, strength and confidence were really important factors to work on throughout the year.
My highlight of the season was coming 3rd in the AMCA 125 Youth Championship, with my favourite rounds being at Bromsberrow, Brookthorpe and Fatcats.
I wildcarded a couple of rounds of the Acerbis Nationals and Bridgestone British Masters, where I raced against some of the top 125 adult riders. These were great for improving my confidence in a packed line up.
At the end of the season, I was selected to be part of the Nora CRS Development team for a second time in 2024, which is a definite highlight, as so much support is offered through the programme.
Lows of 2023
I wildcarded a couple of rounds of the REVO British Championship, but things didn’t really go in my favour. The tracks were very tough, and combined with nerves, caused me to not to ride as well as I should have.
My learning from this was that I needed to have more experience in those types of conditions.
My starts have been a real struggle in 2023, as they are just not consistent enough and something that I will continue to work on. I have found myself having to chase through the pack on many occasions, which have prevented me from getting my true position. This definitely reflects when I get a good start, as I am able to maintain my position in the top 3.
Benefits of Coach Robb weekly sessions
Having Coach Robb has really helped improve my confidence, and I have been able to have 121s with him when I’ve really needed it. His guidance on fitness and nutrition and all-round mental agility have been key to pulling through.
Off season Winter 2023-2024
My training is due to ramp up soon, with Coach Robb’s training plans and mountain biking.
2024
In 2024, I have signed up for the AMCA Championship, Acerbis Nationals and am looking forward to competing in the Nora Cup series and the Master Kids, which I have never done before
My main challenge will be focussing and making time as I am doing my GCSEs next summer, but I am going to make a real effort in both motocross and school, with my main objective to be focussed and positive before the start of the 2024 season. I know I need to improve my starts, so this will be a real focus in 2024.
Having the backing of the Nora CRS Development Team and Evenstrokes will be a massive benefit for me going forward.
