In many ways Max Anstie is the archetypal racing prodigy: Father who raced at a high level? Check. Groomed from a young age for the career ladder? Check. Family that wholeheartedly commit to the youngster? Sure. Aspirations for Supercross and the AMA series? Undoubtedly.

Do you think it is harder to get a good ride in the U.S. now compared to a few years ago?

I think the economy has a lot to do with that but I also believe that if you are not on Pro Circuit or Geico then you can win races but you will not win a championship because they are the two teams that have everything. To be on those teams then you need to be the best and I could have stayed in the US on a good team but you need to be on the best bike. I had the opportunity to ride CLS Pro Circuit in Europe and maybe Pro Circuit for supercross in America. So I need to do really well here before looking to go back.

Even though you have that Pro Circuit link did it take much time to make the decision to come over here?

It didn’t take too long. It is a great team and I think we will be stronger next year. I am aware of that fact that people would give their right arm to be in the position I’m in.
