Riding for One Vision Global Racing has really put a high on things for me this year. I’ve had some terrible luck over the last 3 years with injuries, so to be feeling good again and riding on a UCI world cup team for the first time is really exciting. Jack has done an awesome job bringing in the sponsors for the team and after riding the Trek Session 9.9 for the first time in Malaga I immediately fell in love with it. I can’t wait to race a season on a bike that is so well thought out and having the support of spare parts, which in previous years I have so frequently found myself without, will make a huge difference to my season.

Having Jamie on the team is great, not just because he is pinned, but it shows what the team is about. This type of team is what the sport needs and I feel this is my best chance yet to bring in the results I want. This season I will be racing all of the world cups, all the nationals, national champs and a few regional events. I’m so excited to race my first full world cup season this year and can’t wait for the season to kick off! I want to say a big thank you to One Vision Global Racing and the teams sponsors: Trek, Pacenti, Works, MRP, Fusion, Bontrager, Mojo/Fox, Ticky Bikes and Dirt Factory. Also thanks to my own personal sponsor Kenny. Bring on 2015!
