"Mike's father Tony, had time for a quick chat with Matt Allard after his son's European outdoor debut at Pernes les Fontaines. He explained that Mike may now race the first MX3 (the former 500cc class) GP back in France instead of heading to Zolder for his highly anticipated GP debut in MX2.

"It's under discussion, nothing more than that at the moment", reckoned Tony. "We're not saying we're going to do it, we're talking about the options of either riding there [at Castelnau de Levis, France] or at Zolder. It's because there is a lot of pressure at that first race in Zolder, I think it's going to be craziness. In the 500 class, these guys are mellow, and it's an easier way to start. We're taking little steps at a time, Four-Stroke National, then come to Europe and do a couple of races, then go home and do another Four-Stroke National, little-steps. I think that that step at Zolder is a big step."

"I think everybody at that first race is going to be pretty crazy; it's going to be a mad-house. Everyone will be mellowed out by the second race. We're looking at the options and trying to decide which is the best road to take. The key thing is keeping Mike healthy and avoiding any risk. All we want to do here is to come and learn to be a faster rider and then go back and take what we learnt to the US."
