Q and A with Barry....

What is your best achievement(s) in the sport?

 

Battling with Shakey at brands in the final race of BSB 2012 was good against Alex Lowes, Brookes and all the top boys!

 

Who was your biggest influence as you came through the ranks?

 

I really liked watching Haga! Then in 2014 I battled with him in Assen and had a night out with him which is crazy! Also i always liked Whitham, i work for home now on his trackdays and i still struggle speaking to him as he's a proper legend!
