Race week: Estoril is a track that I really enjoy – it was a “late” addition to the WorldSBK calendar in my career, so I haven’t done too much mileage there but I have some great memories – none more-so than in 2020, when I won my sixth World Championship title. Of course, Estoril has been absent for a couple of years from the calendar so Friday will be an important day to get up to speed, understand the circuit again and try to continue getting the best out of our Yamaha R1 WorldSBK. It’s got a little bit of everything: fast, flowing sections and tight, twisty sections – and a long straight to negotiate. There is plenty to consider when putting our package together! The target for us this weekend is to be a bit more competitive – Aragon was a disappointment and these next races come in quick succession, so we will try to start in the best way possible in Estoril
A tough weekend in Aragon. Thanks for the support everyone!

I’m disappointed having to sit out this weekend in Cremona. After speaking with Dr Antonie Martens who performed the surgery in France and Dr Michael McBride who is following my case at home in Belfast, both insist that the tendon graft and skin grafts on my right thumb need a little more time to heal and avoid any set backs. I am doing everything at home to be back at 100% as soon as possible. Thanks to everyone who is standing with me during this tough time
