00:00Anders, how does it feel to be joining Sheffield?
00:03Yeah, it's really good, it's a nice atmosphere and
00:06yeah, it's good to have a change.
00:10Do you think it's a fairly decent team this
00:13season? Yeah, definitely. I think it's an awesome team.
00:17We're pretty solid all the way through, so yeah, it'll be a really interesting year.
00:21Have you ridden with many of the riders here before?
00:24Yeah, I've raced against all the boys and I think I've ridden
00:27in a couple of teams with a couple of the riders in the past.
00:31So yeah, we know each other quite well, so it should be pretty good.
00:36And last season you were racing as Rising Star at Kingsland.
00:40How does it feel to be back in the main body of a team again?
00:43Yeah, really good. It's nice to step out the Rising Star scheme now.
00:48My average was too high to go back into it for this season,
00:51but I'm happy that I've stepped out of it.
00:53It shows that I'm improving, not just to myself,
00:57but also to other people. It shows that I'm improving.
00:59So yeah, it's really good for me and I'm looking forward to a new challenge.
01:03Does it make it more difficult being higher up on the order?
01:07Not really. You've got to race from one to seven.
01:11You've got to race every person.
01:12It doesn't matter what number that you're at or they're at.
01:16Throughout the meeting, you'll race everyone anyway.
01:18So it doesn't really make no difference to me.
01:21All it makes a difference is I get inside gates and hit one.
01:26There's been a lot of talk about how well you did when you came to Owlerton last season.
01:29Is this a track that you like?
01:30Yeah, definitely. It's one of my favourite tracks and I've always liked coming here.
01:34I've not really raced too, too many times here,
01:36but every time I've come here, I've always just took it in my stride
01:41and just raced my bike and had fun and just made the bike simple
01:45and got out of them starts and held on tight.
01:50What is it about this track that suits you, do you think?
01:52I think because it's quite big and open.
01:55It's a racer's track, but it's also a gator's track as well.
01:59I'm quite a good gator, so if you can get out them starts fast
02:04and get out in front early and hit fresh air,
02:07you can get a good gap between you.
02:10But also, if you miss the start, you can still win a race.
02:13So that's what I really like about it.
02:16What's your target for this season?
02:17Ah, that's for me to know?
02:21No, just for me, I'm going to improve again on last year.
02:26The last two seasons, I've had really good.
02:29For me, just carry on doing what I was doing from last year.
02:33Having fun, racing my bike, putting points on the table,
02:36winning races, winning meetings with the team
02:39and get us into them semifinals and then the finals,
02:43and then we go from there.
