He had an up and down year, giving him good and bad results. Throughout Euro MAX he had top 5 positions but had some very bad luck at the same time only allowing him to finish 15th in the European Championships. Throughout the British he had very average finishes due to mechanical failures allowing him to finish only 11th in the Championship.
