“I am pleased to be reunited with Beta once again, and I am looking forward to the 2008 season and the challenge that lies ahead.”

“My first competitive outing with Beta will be at the opening round of the World Indoor series in Marseille, France on the 18th of this month.”

“That gives us just under three weeks to be ready, so it is going to be a very hectic start to the year for both me and the team.”

“The Lampkin comeback represents a great opportunity for us. Besides his riding skills, everybody knows that Dougie’s experience will be positive for all team members.”

“We are very pleased he has started working with us again. We've always had a great relationship with him, good and constructive at all the times.”
