19th July: At the halfway mark in the season here are a few words from Taylor.
"I have had a great time an done a lot better than expected. In my first few meetings I scored 4 and 5 and I was happy with that. But then in my 3rd one I top scored. I'll never forget that meeting It was at Scunthorpe, and with my first race win I though it was a fluke, but then it happened again so that gave me a lot of confidence. It was like I was on cloud 9. Without that win I don't think I would have got the scores I did later. But that was at number 7. Now I ride at number 4 and with just my four programmed rides it is much harder, but hopefully I can make this work as well.

The Person I was most looking forward to racing was Johno (Steven Johnston). He has known me since I was a baby, I was actually talking to him about that at the last Birmingham meeting. But the one I wanted to beat most was Jason Lyons. But When he guested for Stoke he gave me a lot of advice and it helped me a lot.

Travelling isn't all that bad. It's 5 hours max to a meeting so it is nowhere near as far as it is in Australia. My mechanic Ben Hewit just got his licence so he helps me on the driving side of things.

I stay at Sue Warren's house, it's just like home, I feel sooo comfortable here it's cool. Tom is 16, I can hang with him and Josh (he is the same age as my sister Lilly Rose). My workshop is at Rob Warren's farm, I share it with Danny King so he gives me some tips as well.

I've done a practise day at Stoke and lately I've been doing some at Mildenhall. I need as many laps as I can get."
