And after he's lost — he lost, what, two brothers to racing crashes? He's not probably like most dads that all praise their kid up and down daily. So, a little bit too late, really, to claim a championship from the move to Honda, but it definitely gave me a really big understanding and a learning curve on how to ride a four-cylinder, which put me in good stead for when we got on the Stiggy Honda. Leon Haslam: Yeah, it was. And I don't think me and my girlfriend got out of them for, like, three days. But due to circumstances out of their control and out of your control, the team's basically falling apart. Leon Haslam: Basically, I started off in motocross and he kind of just left me to it and he never once wanted me to do it, really. Just filled up with fuel and kept stopping at all these camps in these pajamas, which was was a pretty cool road trip. David Emmett: Iis your dad definitely moving the school to Silverstone, or is that still not decided yet? I kind of took the route of, "Let's learn from the best and try and hang in there. " So, we'll wait and see what happens for this year. Ktm-bound miller appreciates ducatis unusual motogp update plan for hime. I got a second and a third at Assen.

We were actually on the podium and we had two or three podiums in the first few races. And it was a tough decision, but it was a decision that was easier based on him and the people that he was putting together with it. Obviously, at Laguna Seca and training out in California quite a little bit. Mom and dad don't like changes, but I think it'll be a good change for them and to run around that track should be pretty exciting. So I moved quite quick and I got the opportunity.

And with my background, coming from dirt racing, that was the first thing you wanted to jump on and have a go at. And that relationship there is fantastic and I wouldn't change that for the world. So, it's good to see that the young guys now are gathering that experience and challenging for that top spot. Leon Haslam: I wouldn't change any of my career moves I've made. But all credit to Stiggy for achieving what he did for me. Ktm-bound miller appreciates ducatis unusual motogp update plan for him to resign. It was my first season actually on a superbike — you know, to jump straight into World Superbike was pretty hard. Do you think maybe he was just testing you to see how badly you wanted this? Chris Jonnum: You mentioned that you did some training with some supercross guys, and I'd just like to know a little bit more about your dirt bike background, who the supercross guys are that you train with and how that came about.

And I think that we've definitely got a good chance for doing it. I was a challenger for the podium until the last lap, and it was basically a mistake of my own which obviously wiped me out of that. Leon Haslam: Yes; 2008, yes. I just think that it was very unlucky, and with it being a new bike, you know, it was tough competition. So, it was the first year for me at Miller and everything was a little bit new. And that helped me quite a lot, with the help of my dad getting out there and filming as well.

Leon, we appreciate you taking all this time to talk with everybody. And I'd go two or three weeks and I wouldn't go ride. So, we went through the archives of data that they had and looked at what he did differently, basically, on the day — through the last sector. But on a list of things that you want to do is you always want to beat your teammate. It was tough, but it was definitely a good learning curve for me. And from that age onwards, you know, we've had a fantastic relationship. And kind of — probably when I grew up, really, 19, 20 years of age, I realized all the negative stuff that I thought was negative, he was actually trying to help me. All the guys were still there working for me and turning up every weekend.

David Swarts: A quick question. And that was also the same time I moved into road racing. Dean Adams: Two of his brothers died. Just little things, like the weight distribution, changed a little bit. And you know, the season started off great. It's quite difficult now I'm in World Superbike because there's a lot of rules and regulations on where you're not allowed to ride at a track before you race there. Chris Jonnum: I think with the exception of David Emmett, you're probably talking mainly to Americans here. And getting to the races I know was really, really tough. David Emmett: Right. David Emmett: And I mean, you feel — because you started young, are you still feeling fresh and you still feel you've got a lot of years racing left in you?It was — as a whole package and team, you know, then I have what I need to win. I know they're finding it quite hard to achieve what Ben did on the same package. Moderator: We appreciate everybody participating today. So, I sort of got time off and just had a bit of fun. So, as far as the track goes, I really enjoy riding it. And from the age of 14 to probably 19, he's always been there and he's always helped me 110 percent. So hopefully, it'll open out to a lot wider range of people for the future to get into MotoGP. And I'm only 26, so I've definitely got a fair few years left. Leon Haslam: Hey, Chris. Can you talk a little bit about that, please? Operator: Our next question comes from David Emmett of David Emmett: About going to MotoGP or to the Grand Prix paddock on a competitive ride, do you think that the new Moto2 class, the fact that everyone's on the same engine, does that make a more attractive prospect than say you're going to 250s, with a much better chance of actually moving up to MotoGP. We're happy to have you here. I've had a 10- to 12-year career, and now it's looking good. And do you think that that's something that is permanent, that we're going to see some of the veterans kind of move on here in the next couple of years?
Leon Haslam: A lot of people have asked me this. Then you went back to the British Superbike Championship for three years and you've come back sort of since then. And from that day onwards, really, I went from him kind of not being too interested in my racing to actually realizing I do want to do it for myself, you know, and he got behind me. So there's no reason why we can't win this championship now. And Laguna that year, it was about midway through the season and I actually broke my wrist in the race challenging for the podium. So that was an experience; it was my first tattoo, so that was pretty cool to get out there. David Emmett: And so, if you were offered a ride with a top team in 250 or in Moto2, would you consider it or would you prefer staying in World Superbikes with a factory team? But people do see what you're doing and what package you run. And literally from the point of me signing that contract, over the next two or three months he came into a lot of financial difficulty with backers and investors and sponsors pulling out. They've done it purely off of running as wild cards or off of merit, of winning. Chris Jonnum: Leon, it seems like there's obviously the British factor in World Superbike this year, but there's also kind of a situation where there's a new generation, I think, of younger riders who are becoming increasingly competitive. I'd never ridden a four-stroke, and I had half the season on a 600 and the second half of the season on a superbike. And we're all quite young, all early to mid-20s, and is that rivalry there?The first thing I noticed driving into the paddock was the mini bike track and the supercross track. And the factory status alone, you know, with the help of the Japanese and the information, I think that's the biggest factor that everybody's looking for. Operator: Our next question comes from David Swarts from Roadracing World. We actually got a free upgrade from South Africa to America to first class. It's going to be for sure. Do you think that Ben Spies had a lasting effect on the series?
