21TEAM SUZUKI RACING NEwSHow did you get to those races in Belgium, seeing as Lithuania is quite a long way away?“It was back and forwards with the car, I guess. I was not flying. I don’t know why. traveling all the way with the car. always working in Lithuania and my Dad was always helping me as a mechanic, trainer, and cook; everything all in one. He was always travelling with me and preparing my bikes and everything. He was my driver and all.”So, Belgium was where it all began?“In the beginning, I started everything in England, but then we found out that Belgium would be best for us to race.

Sometimes I wasn’t even good enough to score points.”How did that happen? Did you just get fitter or did you change your technique?“I think a combination of both. Physical training is where Stefan and I worked a lot, because we had to improve more, and for full motos. a lot riding on the bike – so, so much riding on the bike and everything. With Stefan, he made a really good program for me and he really pushed me to go all in, which in the end made quite good results I think.”2017 Issue #2 - AutumnWe really did ‘WITH STeFAn, He MAde A Good PRoGRAM FoR Me And He ReALLy PuSHed Me To Go ALL In, WHICH In THE ENd MAdE qUITE GOOd RESUlTS I THINK’
