John Mitchell: "After my injury at the start of this year, I feel that I only really got going mid season. I'm pleased to have finished the second half of the season with consistency and great race pace which has secured me a second place finish. Throughout, my team sponsors have been superb. I'd say that there has been fantastic development on the 2008 racing package which has improved exceptionally throughout the season. Thanks again to all my sponsors, my friends and family. In particular to ATV World, my dad George and my wonderful wife Ann-Marie who have been there all the way for me."
