I wonder who'll be Britain's next big thing? I've got no doubt that Max will make the grade. You could argue he has already really. Just a bummer he had to then go and bust himself up, but he'll come back stronger.

I've seen Max develop and be groomed through his youth career and it's great for me to now be involved in a series like the Red Bull Elite Youth Cup that will give our best youth talent in the UK a chance to improve and develop in an enviroment that Max never really had. Of course he's an exceptional talent but there are a whole host of other young riders out there that could follow suit. Look at Conrad Mewse as one example. He's doing the kind of technical things that Max did when he was his age. I'm can honestly say I feel privileged to be part of the Red Bull Elite Youth Cup, a series I firmly believe will help put the Great back into motocross in Britain.
