What is your best achievement in the sport?

Has to be my podium at the northwest 200 this year 

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

Before I start racing I used to go to my local road race the skerries 100 every year and Martin Finnegan and Richard Britton were the men at the time and I used to love watching them and thought some day I would love to do this and that's were I am now 

Best friend in racing?

I don't really have one I'm just friends with everyone I don't like enemies 

What constitutes a successful season in 2025?

Would be definitely wat iv done so far this season as it's been one of my best to date so if the season was over today I'd be well happy so to finish it out now would be just to be safe and try my best to get the best results I can 

If you weren’t a racer, what job would you be doing?

Well I drive trucks now when I'm not away racing so I suppose I'd be at that all the time if I wasn't racing 

Favourite cheat meal?

Favourite boxset or TV show to binge?

Don't really have one to be honest I don't have much time to be watching telly ha! 

You’re on a 12-hour flight – what three films are you definitely watching?
