There’s three things I’ve read recently that aren’t true. One is that I’ve ruled out Moto2 for next season, I never said that. Another is that Cal Crutchlow has dominated World Supersport this season, that’s incorrect. A wise man once said that you’re only as good as your last race, never was there a truer word spoken. The other thing was that Rockin’ Robin slotted into 35th position in the list of Michael Jackson’s greatest songs, that’s clearly not true! Surely it should be in the top ten.

Let’s get back to the Moto2 subject. What I said was that I’m in no rush back, meaning that I’m not just going to jump at the first opportunity to return to that paddock. My original intention was to sidestep to the World Supersport Championship and show that I was capable of winning races then return to GPs on a winning package. So far half the job is done, now all I need is the latter to fall into place. It could be 2010; however, I’m prepared to wait until 2011 if that’s what it takes. All any man wants from life is to be shown the respect he deserves, that’s why I need to go back.

We had a tough time at Brno, we never quite found the right chassis setting for the race. It certainly didn’t help matters when I threw it down the road three times! Yamaha had tested there previously and we can’t afford to be giving them headstarts like that. Cal won’t have any advantage heading into the final four races which should mean it’ll be a good fight between the two of us for the title.

It’s amazing how it’s went from “Cal Crutchlow and Eugene Laverty have dominated World Supersport this season” to just “Cal Crutchlow has dominated World Supersport this season”! I find it pretty funny because it’ll change right back once I pick up a win in the next few rounds. Cal is riding great and he’s getting the most out of the Yamaha so we have our work cut out, there’s no doubt about that.

I’m at Brands Hatch this weekend watching the British Superbikes then I’ll be spending the next week in London along with Pippa. My five week break is packed full of duties and activities, which isn’t altogether a bad thing, so it’ll be back to racing before we know it!

I’m off to practice my Cockney accent, see ya.
