Current MX Nationals and Super X Under 19s champion Errol Willis has told MotoOnline.com.au that he expects to win as a Pro Lites rookie in 2012.

Coming off a dream season that saw him capture both the outdoor and supercross titles for Raceline Pirelli Suzuki, the 18-year-old will step up to the Lites next year and has his sights firmly set on the top step.

“I’ll be back with Raceline Pirelli Suzuki at this stage, looking at the Pro Lites this time,” Willis said. “I’m sure we’ll have a really good bike again and we’ll be ready to race with those guys.

“I was heading there to get a top five and get some finishes, but now I’m looking to win. I think I can beat them. I’ve raced with [Kirk] Gibbs and beat him before, I’ve raced with people like [Brenden] Harrison and all that, had big battles with them.

“[Kade] Mosig will definitely be a favourite to win, but I’ve beaten him a fair few times this year. I reckon I can possibly win, so I’ll do everything I can to do that.”

Willis admitted he learned a lot from 2011 teammate Lawson Bopping this year, but he believes that basing himself out of his family’s new property will be another improvement in his program.

“This year, the biggest thing for me was that I learned what training really was, living with Boppo,” he added. “Heading into next year my family has just bought a new property here in Wagga on the river, so we’re moving out there and I’ll have tracks full time.

“I’ll be doing my own thing out of my hometown, so I think that is key and dangerous for anybody else. I’ll have that set up for myself now, so we’ll just have to see if I am stoppable.”
