His title s challenged this year and he is fighting it out in the world 600 Supersport championship. His goal: to achieve his maximum race time in the France 600 Supersport championship, while progressing alongside world class drivers. His performance secret for future riders: "You must be strong and bounce back after a fall, never become discouraged and persevere".
