Here's what he had to say.</B></I></div> <bR> <div> <B>1) ></B><B>How did you get to be sponsored by SDR? </B></div> <div> I got sponsored by SDR, through sending them a CV for an anonymous team, that falling through, and then asking to join their team instead as they were looking for a younger rider.</div> <div> <B>2) >What do you get for being sponsored?</B></div> <div> I get a package from smith, sunglasses goggles, clothes etc, free gloves, free GT85, free socks! Free vids to review, free servicing from Tim Flooks and some really cool jerseys which are bein made up. Oh and a nice discount from chain reaction and free grips from ODI. </div> <div> <B>3) ></B><B>If Ashley gets sponsored how will it feel competing directly against him?</B></div> <div> If Ash gets sponsored it wont change much as we have always been fairly competitive between each other anyway, so it might just help both our games on the downhill circuit. I'd be really pleased for him. </div> <div> <B>4) >What are your hopes for this season?</B></div> <div> My hopes for next season are to come top ten juniors overall in the country but I know this wiil be a challenge but i'm willing to give it a go. My utmost hope is to be national champ but thats a long way off ! </div> <div> <B>5) >What do you look forward to most in being sponsored by SDR?</B></div> <div> I really look forward to having the team backing me all season as it means if I ever get stuck, I will always have help. Also it may help with lifts to races i may not be able to get to. </div> <div> <B>6) ></B><B>Have you got some profile photos yet?</B></div> <div> No I dont have any team profile photos yet. </div> <div> <B>7) >What do you think of the rest of the SDR team?</B></div> <div> The members of the team I have met have been really cool, freindly and helpful so i'm looking forward to riding with them this season. </div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
