At the start of the year we had to set up a new team and if it wasn't for everyone at One Call Insurance that wouldn't have been possible.I am disappointed we couldn't get up to speed with the bike and the results as I really wanted to repay everyone who has invested in me this season, I really couldn't have done it without all my personal sponsors.It was a big job to set up a new team and run in a very competitive Championship. We knew it would be hard and my team have worked really hard all year to try and ensure I could get the best results possible. We have learnt a lot and hope to take this into next year if we get the support again.Brands was tough and I was hoping to end the season with a top five finish, but once again we had a few small problems that had a knock on effect. I pushed as hard as I could in both races and was pleased to get a top ten result in the second race.Once again I can't thank my sponsors enough for everything that they did for me. A huge thank you also to Mum, Dad, Mollie, Tony, James, Arron and Scotty for all their help, support and hard work this season."2016 Personal SponsorsMC Motors - One Call Insurance - KGN Pillinger - Gemini Control Systems - McCarroll Engineering - Silkolene - Daytona - Shoei - Spidi - Knox - Hamilton Glass - Shredz Fitness Centre - TRW
