tle. But I'm happy to be with KTM for my last year, I think
it's fitting and it feels right."
Has it sunk in that this is your final season?
"I think that it has. At first I was kind of sad knowing it
was my last season—there were a lot of emotions flying
around knowing that I'm not going to be doing this anymore. But now I'm more excited about doing another
winter of training. I'll take a little time off, organize some
things and then get going again later in the winter. I'm
looking forward to it. I'm going to try a few different
things. I fell off a bit there at the end of this year, and had

few things going on. Now I need to rehab some body
parts, but I am excited to get the winter started with KTM,
especially with the two-stroke. I'm not sad anymore, now
I'm taking it as I get one final shot."
Are you looking forward to life after this season?
"I am. I still have a lot of drive to ride motorcycles, so I
am going to take that drive and enthusiasm and put it into
the KTM Ride Orange Program and other things KTM has
in store. Hopefully I can give something back to KTM. I
am excited to try something new and use that enthusiasm
for the next 20 years with KTM, or however it all works
