So far things have gone perfectly for you as far as the US Endurocross series is concerned, you must be thrilled with winning each of the opening three races?
Taddy: 'It's been great. My goal at the start of the season was to win the championship. To do that I need podiums at every event. Winning the first three races is a real bonus. The level of racing is extremely high so I never expected to be as successful as I've been. The first race was great. It was my mistake that made that final as close as it was at the finish. The second round went perfectly, and the third round was exactly what I hoped for as well. Things have really come together - my fitness, my bike, my confidence, everything.'

A lot of people were expecting yourself and Ricky Dietrich to battle it out for the '09 title. Are you disappointed your expected number one rival has been out injured?**
Taddy: 'Injuries are a part of our sport, I guess I know that better than most. To win a championship you have to be fast, fit and healthy, which means trying to avoid injuries. I'd love to have been racing with Ricky at the second and third rounds of the series. He'll be back for the next round, so I'm looking forward to that. My focus is winning the championship so I'm not going to take any crazy risks to win races. I have a solid championship lead, which I want to look after.'
