What’s going on with the MXDN and you? The Canadian team isn’t really coming together like we all want it to and you can ride for Great Britain. Have you decided yet?

Yeah I have, I’ve decided to race for Great Britain this year. I haven’t heard who my teammates will be yet but we’ll see. You know, I rode for Canada last year and I feel a little disrespectful turning my back on them and riding for Scotland but there’s a lot of politics that goes with Canadian des nations team and Great Britain called me a bunch in the last two months. You know I’m legitimately Scottish, I’ve lived there the longest in my life and that’s where my family is. There’s no question in the fact that is where I am from. I’m pretty pumped to go ride for Great Britain but it’s a shame that I kind of have to leave Canada hanging, I have great supporters and friends in Canada that helped me out. It’s pretty sad but I have to carry on and do what I have to do.

How much does the lack of funding and the disorganization of the Canadian MXDN team have to do with your decision to ride for Great Britain?

Not much really, I think it would be awesome if we could have the best guys all ride together. I think that if we sent Facciotti, Klatt and myself I think we would do great. Honestly, I am Scottish, that’s where I’m from and I don’t think that the way that Team Canada is run has anything to do with it. Even if we had the best team, I don’t think the politics of it all would matter.

Well it might get some people upset but you rode for the country once and the Canadians will just have to share you.

Yeah, I mean I have friends and supporters up there that helped me out when I was young in sponsoring me and stuff, I rode a couple of the Canadian nationals and had a lot of fun up there. Maybe one day I’ll be back there, you never know. Canada is my second home but Scotland is my first home.
