Here's what he had to patch in an interview:
I’m an amateur motorbike racer – it’s non my undertaking but I’ve done all right. It’s practiced because, if I don’t start the results I want, I’ve got that excuse. But when I musical rhythm out the other boys, I say, ‘It’s your undertaking besides you even as well as then can’t musical rhythm out me!’ It’s a small career besides inwards motorbike racing you’re non earning mega money. So I’ve always had my truck job. We’re like the Ferrari dealers of the truck world. I do total full general maintenance on the trucks, which is a legal requirement if you’re making a living running a truck. I convey ii weeks off from my undertaking to start besides race the TT besides I always endeavor to start a undertaking while I’m there, because we only practise inwards the evenings.
