The twisty Sachsenring circuit has tested the resilience of the Team Andalucía Cajasol riders. Alberto Moncayo, arriving to face an unknown track, has seen good progress. Danny Webb, meanwhile, has greatly improved his best previous qualification at the Sachsenring, managing 10th on the grid.

The German Sachsenring track stands out as one of the shortest Grand Prix circuits in the world, but also is known as being one of the most twisty, a condition that, if the rider knows the secrets of the track it is a great help.

Alberto Moncayo has experienced constant growth since he first came out on to the track, gaining experience every lap that he has been able to apply during qualifying where delivered a great 13th place.

Danny Webb 10^th - 1'28 .324,
Danny Webb has been very competitive on a track where he achieved great results last season. In 2009 he managed to finish 8th in the race after qualifying 17th. Danny has achieved today 10th on the grid, a good position to deliver a strong finish in the race tomorrow.

Pedro Machado (Director Team Cajasol Andalucía):
"It's been a very difficult weekend for both Alberto and the team. This is a very demanding track and we had a hard time reaching the point where we can get a set-up that gives enough confidence to our rider. We started on the wrong foot, but again we were able to face adversity and we are very happy with the result. With Alberto are dealing with the same positions as usual and that in this race, is already a triumph, he is 2.7 seconds off pole, but the difference is reduced to 1.4 if you look at the time of the third place . We are very close.
Danny Webb is doing a spectacular weekend. He is making very good times and doing it consistently, which is even more positive. As I have always said, Dannys time is coming and in any race Danny can cause an upset "

Tomorrow we will return to the track for warm-up at 8.40 to 9.00, where the team will conduct the final testing and improvements in the bike for the race, which will start at 11.00.

RANDY Krummenacher's late charge denied Danny Webb a top six finish at the Assen TT 125cc MotoGP on Saturday.

The 19-year-old Pembury star produced his best ride of the season in Holland and was running sixth for some 15 laps.

However, Krummenacher found pace late on and closed him down. The pair battled to the end, but the Swiss racer came out on top.

Nevertheless seventh was the Andalucia Cajasol rider's best result of the season.

"I got off to a good start after qualifying 11th," Webb said. "I knew I could run with the front guys, I had good pace, but in qualifying I just couldn't get a good one-off lap in.

"It was a lonely ride and then I saw that Krummenacher was catching me by a couple of tenths a lap.

"He got past me, but then I overtook him straight back. It was a good battle, but we didn't have quite enough in the end. Anyway, it's a good result, my best of the season and hopefully we can keep it going."

Webb and team-mate Alberto Moncayo both got flying starts in Assen, leaping up from the third row to fifth and sixth.

Webb soon got past the Spaniard and in some frenetic opening laps latched on to the leaders. He benefited from crashes to Esteve Rabat and Efren Vasquez and once the race settled down, concentrated on securing sixth until the Krummenacher charge.

One thing out of Webb's reach was challenging the front four for the whole race. The pace of Marc Marquez, Nico Terol, Pol Espagaro and Bradley Smith was just too strong.

"Their bikes are just incredible," Webb said. "They've got so much acceleration.

"You come out of a corner with them and they just pull 10 bike lengths on you. Hopefully we can improve ourselves and get up with them. I'm feeling good on the bike and my confidence is coming back."

He added: "It's Barcelona this week and I think we can definitely improve on it. Perhaps we need to put a different first gear in to improve acceleration? Hopefully I'll qualify better, get a good start and run with the front guys again."

Team riders Andalucía Cajasol face a new round of World Championship Speed. This is the Italian Grand Prix, the fourth round of the season takes place in Mugello, another new circuit for Alberto Moncayo, whose first goal is as quickly as possible to adapt to the track, although in his first run he achieved an excellent result.

For his part, Danny Webb faces a circuit that luck has never been on his side.  His target is primarily to finish the race and to achieve something that for various reasons he has not done in Mugello since 2007.

Good temperatures and clear skies at the Mugello circuit to start the Italian Grand Prix, where the riders of Team Andalucía Cajasol continued to demonstrate their potential and continue the excellent work they have been doing this season. Both riders are making good progress against their goals and promise to continue giving 100% effort.

Alberto Moncayo arrives in Italy after a difficult Grand Prix at Le Mans, Alberto started delivering very strong results that were beyond their targets, which this year focuses on a place among the top 15 in each test. Looking at Mugello Moncayo aims to keep learning from his rivals, the keys to the Italian circuit and learn to be competitive in the coming seasons.

Danny Webb's case is different. The British driver has repeatedly demonstrated to have sufficient quality to pick a fight with the front runners, but his career has been marked by continued problems and lack of consistency in his results. The Cajasol Andalucía team aims to work hard to understand the needs of the young British rider and be able to offer a bike that he can show what he is capable of, without taking risks. During the preseason Danny suffered several falls that made it clear to the team  the line of work to follow. Since then, Webb has had a major change in this respect and is achieving a good level of consistency. 

Both riders will face the second morning free practice 9:00 to 9:40 and then 13:00 to 13:40, qualifying, that will give the positions of the grid.

DANNY Webb recovered from a horrendous start to finish ninth in his 50th 125cc MotoGP at Le Mans.

The 19-year-old Pembury teenager had qualified brilliantly to get on the second row, but hopes of challenging at the front disappeared as the lights went green.

Webb got off the line okay, but let the clutch out too quickly, got swallowed up by the pack and found himself 26th at the first corner.

By the end of lap one the Andalucia Cajasol rider was down in 18th and knew it was just a case of battling for as many points as he could.

"It was an interesting race that's for sure," Webb said. "I'd qualified really well. We'd had another fantastic weekend and made a lot of progress with the bike. But I made a really bad start. It was me. I got nervous and messed up. I let the clutch out too quickly. These things happen. In the end I did a good job to get back to ninth."

Webb soon got to work, weaving in and out of riders with some hair-raising moves.

He dispensed with the likes of Jonas Folgar, Alberto Moncayo and Johann Zarco on his way to 10th with half the race to go. It was a lonely ride home thereafter, although he did pick up another spot when Randy Krummenacher fell away late on.

"It did my race craft a lot of good," Webb admitted.

"I'm usually racing around in a group of four and it's hard to pass and get away.

"But here I knew I was a lot faster than the guys I was racing. As soon as I got to them I went past. I got to my team-mate (Moncayo), went straight past him, looked back on the next lap and he was gone. It was the same with everyone I got up to.

"It was a bit disappointing at the end of the day, because I knew I could have been further up if it hadn't been for that start."

One thing that did creep up on Webb was being told he'd just had his 50th GP. It's been a frustrating half-century for the Kent teenager, but he is hoping the next 50 will see him make a name for himself.

"I've had a lot of bad luck. The first few years were inconsistent, but we are slowly building up. Hopefully, we will get that podium soon."

Webb is back on track at Mugello for the Italian GP on June 6. Two weeks after that it's his home GP at Silverstone.

The weekend all in all was a good weekend.  From the first session we were looking strong and comfortable with the bike.  We had a brilliant qualifying session and ended up 8th on the grid.

Going into the race I had a terrible start and through the first sector I was in 26th place, I knew that I had to push as hard as I could and to make some hard moves and pass as soon as I got to another rider.  It kept me busy for most of the race and with 10 laps to go I found myself up to 10th place.  The gap to 9th was too far to catch so I knew that I had to settle for the position that I was in, another rider then crashed in front and this then bumped me up to 9th place and this is where I ended the race.

I was happy with the race because we made good progress coming from a long way back, but I was also a bit gutted because I wondered what would have happened if I had had a good start. 

The weekend, however, was successful and again we made good progress with the bike and I am feeling very comfortable within the team now.  I cannot wait to get to Mugello and hopefully we will have an even more successful weekend.

I would like to thank the whole team for working hard over the weekend, thanks a lot.

Danny #99

British teenagers Bradley Smith and Danny Webb lapped up the Le Mans qualifying sunshine and will start from the second row of the grid for the 125 cc race in the Monster Energy French Grand Prix tomorrow.

Both Smith and Webb put recent problems behind them to fight it out with the leaders. Yesterday Oxfordshire teenager Smith completed just eight laps of practice when his Bancaja Aspar Aprilia seized. His team worked hard to rectify the problem and it paid off. Smith led a qualifying session for the first time this season but was finally pushed off the front row after qualifying in fifth place despite crashing at the end of the session.

“It felt so good being competitive for the first time this season,” said Smith, who secured his first ever podium finish at Le Mans three years ago.” At last we’ve got the bike working and we are back on track and really looking forward to the race after our problems in Qatar and Jerez.”

Three weeks ago Webb crashed out of the Spanish Grand Prix while contesting sixth place. The Kent-based rider has been in good form all weekend at Le Mans and qualified eighth, riding the Andalucia Cajasol Aprilia.

It was a tough Moto2 qualifying session for Scott Redding with the first 27 riders separated by less than one second. The Gloucester teenager qualified 21st on the Marc VDS Suter machine but only less than nine tenths of a second behind pole setter Kenny Noyes.

In the MotoGP class Valentino Rossi took his first pole position of the season after a scorching one hour qualifying session. His Fiat Yamaha team-mate and Championship leader Jorge Lorenzo was second with the Repsol Honda of Dani Pedrosa completing the front row. The Ducati of Casey Stoner heads the second row completed by Nicky Hayden and Randy De Puniet.

Spanish Suzuki rider Alvaro Bautista will miss the race after crashing and re-damaging his injured left shoulder.

The British 125cc rider of the Andalucia Cajasol team has told motogp.com he is extremely pleased with how he is developing early in the 2010 season, and he is looking for a top-end finish at Le Mans next weekend.

Danny Webb has had a whirlwind start to his 2010 campaign on board the Aprilia RSA of the Andalucia Cajasol team, enjoying the high of a promising 11th-placed finish in Qatar and the disappointment of crashing out late in the race at Jerez when battling for sixth place.

The signs of progress have been evident in Webb’s improved qualifying performance from round one to two, as he made the leap from 13th on the grid at Losail to start the GP at Jerez from eighth spot. It is the result of a smooth working relationship in his Spanish team, says the 19 year-old.

“Jerez was a bit disappointing with the outcome of the result, but we made a lot of progress with the bike and the team has been working absolutely fantastically,” Webb told motogp.com.

“In Qatar we struggled quite a bit but we worked hard from there until Jerez, and we made some good progress. I’m looking forward to Le Mans and looking for a good result, especially after the position we were fighting for in the race at Jerez. Hopefully we can be there or a bit higher. If we make the same progress with the bike as we did at Jerez then I’m pretty sure we can be up there.”

The Monster Energy Grand Prix de France next weekend (May 21st-23rd) will offer Webb a chance to get what has been an encouraging start to the 2010 campaign back on track.

He continued: “I’d be happy with a top seven finish. We were battling for sixth in the race at Jerez before the crash and came 11th in Qatar, so the top seven will be good. Then we’ll just work from there and build it up slowly, and hopefully we’ll arrive and be on the pace of the front runners.”

Finally, Webb is excited about the remainder of the season as he has settled quickly in the Andalucia Cajasol team in his first season with them.

“The team have just been telling me to go step-by-step and to take my time. That’s what we’ve started to do and it’s working,” he stated. “I did my fastest ever time around the Jerez circuit with this bike over the race weekend, so that was another big positive. So we are moving forward and hopefully we can keep on that way.”

Over the whole weekend I would say it was a success.  Every session we were working hard and making improvements on the bike.  Going into qualifying we were feeling comfortable and also made a few changes on the bike.  We came in with 10 minutes to go and put a new rear tyre in so we could push for a good lap, immediately I had knocked off ½ a second and then managed to get down to a 48.1 which put me 8th on the grid.  

The team and I were very happy with this result as we knew every team and every rider were on their limit.  Going into morning warm up we tried something with the rear of the bike and everything felt ok but the team and I decided to go back to the qualifying settings for the race.

In the race we got off to an average start but I was a bit too cautious in the first few corners and lost a few places, I could see the group in front of me had got away by about 3 seconds and I just got my head down and concentrated on my rhythm.  I managed to close up the gap to the group in front.  We all then started battling for 6th position and I was feeling good in the group unfortunately with 2 laps to go I crashed putting me out of the race.  I was gutted about this but as many people said it was of no fault of my own.  The team were all very happy with the way the race went and so was I, all in all I felt like it was a successful weekend.  We made a lot of progress with the bike and I am feeling much more comfortable with the bike and feel confident going into the next round at Le Mans and will be pushing again for a good result.  

A huge thank you to the team for all their hard work. 

Danny Webb #99

DANNY Webb got the 125cc MotoGP season off to a solid, if unspectacular, start in Qatar at the weekend.

The 19-year-old, on his debut for Andalucia Cajasol, settled for 11th, a good performance considering the little amount of practice time he has had.

In a race dominated by a large Spanish contingent, Nico Terol raced away in the closing stages to win from Efren Vazquez, who claimed his career-first podium in second spot. Marc Marquez was third.

Pembury ace Webb made a great start and climbed from 13th to seventh on the opening lap. He then got involved in an exciting battle with French riders Alexis Masbou and Johann Zarco for a number of laps, before settling down for a lonely ride in 11th.

"Going into the race we made a few big changes on the bike and it was a bit of a gamble, as we did not know if it was going to work or not," Webb said.

"The lights went out and I got off to a good start and already on the second lap I had gone quicker than I had in qualifying. I was inside the top 10, but unfortunately I knew I could not run with the front lot as we still needed those few small improvements.

"I found myself battling for 11th place and doing times that were a lot faster than qualifying, so I was feeling good with the bike and happy with the changes that we had made. I was battling with Zarco and let him lead the battle for a few laps and then I saw his times drop off by half a second, so I thought I would try and pass and make a gap on him."

Webb is back in action in Motegi, Japan, next weekend (April 23-25). After qualifying, several of his team were in a serious car accident. Webb is hoping they make a fast recovery before the next round.

"We know we can improve a lot and we are looking forward to Japan to improve on our result and we can improve to get up to the top and start fighting for podium positions.

"I would like to thank my new team ever so much because I know it was a hard weekend. With everything that had happened, they still worked extremely hard and it was a pleasure being around them. I would like to wish the injured mechanics well and to get better soon. I am looking forward to Japan."

All in all the weekend did not go too bad considering we had quite a few problems and issues during the weekend.

Starting off with the first free practice everything was going really well, but unfortunately we had a small crash with 20 minutes to go until the end of the session.

The Team were ok about the crash and we looked to see what improvements we could make to the bike for the Saturday practice session.  Unfortunately coming to the Saturday evening session the track was very dirty and there was a lot of sand on the track.  I took it easy and wanted to build up but unfortunately the bike set up was not how we wanted it to be.  

Going into the qualifying session we were feeling confident with the changes that we made but unfortunately the track conditions changed and this changed the way the bike was reacting, we did our best and qualified 13th this was not were I wanted to be but we had to get on with it.  We worked hard and looked through a lot of data and new which changes we needed to make before the morning warm up.  

Unfortunately after the mechanics had finished their work Saturday night / early hours of Sunday morning the front tyre on their car blew out and the car rolled 3 times with them in it.  I was unaware of this until we met up early afternoon on Sunday, when I found out that 4 of the mechanics were injured 2 having broken shoulders and the other 2 bad cuts to their heads.  Only two of them stayed in the hotel to recover so were two men down for the race but we still managed.

In warm up we tried some different things on the bike and we found we had some problems still, so going into the race we made a few big changes on the bike and it was a bit of a gamble as we did not know if it was going to work or not.

The lights went out and I got of to a good start and already on the second lap I had gone quicker than I had in qualifying.  I was inside the top 10 but unfortunately I knew I could not run with the front lot as we still needed those few small improvements, I found myself battling for 11th place and doing times that were a lot faster than qualifying so I was feeling good with the bike and happy with the changes that we had made.

I was battling with Zarco and let him lead the battle for a few laps and then I see his times drop off by ½ a second so I thought I would try and pass and make a gap on him.  I managed to do this and pulled an 8 second gap on him, so the last 4 laps were a little boring on my own so I eased off on the last few laps to get a good secure finish and some good points.

We know we can improve a lot and we are looking forward to Japan to improve on our result and we can improve to get up to the top and start fighting for podium positions.

I would like to thank my new team ever so much because I know it was a hard weekend with everything that had happened, they still worked extremely hard and it was a pleasure being around them.  I would like to wish the injured mechanics well and to get better soon and I am looking forward to Japan.  

Danny Webb #99           

The British teenage trio of Bradley Smith, Scott Redding and Danny Webb found the going tough in the opening qualifying sessions of the 2010 MotoGP World Championship under the floodlights of the Losail International circuit at the Commercialbank Grand Prix of Qatar on Saturday night.

Kent-based Danny crashed in the first 125 cc practice session on Friday evening on his debut with the Andalucia Cajasol Aprilia team but still qualified 13th 24 hours later.

Danny will head the fourth row of the grid in 13th after he clocked a best time of 2.09.647. Danny qualified in 13th for last year's Qatar GP and finished ninth in the race that was shortened to just four laps when a torrential downpour hit the desert.

Danny Webb has just turned 19, but on Sunday in Qatar he will be beginning his fourth season in 125cc MotoGP.

The Pembury ace has been brought up in the best and most glamorous motorcycling paddock in the world - and he intends to stay there.

This winter has been a real roller coaster ride for the youngster, but testing results have been promising. With a new team, Andulucia Racing, he finished sixth at the second test in Jerez, while last week, at the final test, at the same venue, he was 10th overall.

We caught up with him before that final test in Spain.

So Danny, it's been an interesting winter. Has it gone better than expected?

To be honest, I didn't think it would be this good. A month and a half ago, when Jack and Jones went bust, I was worried I wouldn't have a ride. Luckily I got all signed up with Andulucia Racing and it's gone well. As soon as I got to know the team, it clicked. In Jerez I was just taking it easy and we found ourselves in sixth. I was pretty amazed, as I didn't feel I was pushing that hard.

At one point it looked like you'd be faster than Bradley Smith (fellow Brit and one of the championship favourites)?

Towards the end of the day we got dialled in. In the morning I'd used a different tyre. It had done 30-35 laps, a lot when race distance is only 25, and I was still getting good times. Late on, we stuck another tyre in and I was just getting into a rhythm, pushing for the top four, when I went onto the grass and had a little crash. But I'm ok and everything is looking good.

Realistically what do you think you can achieve this season?

I'm still going for that top 10, although now I think I can challenge a bit higher. I don't want to get my hopes up too high, but we've got Qatar at the first round. I like it there and for sure I think I can get a good result. Hopefully, I'll be top Brit.

They often say you can teach a rider not to crash, but you can't teach one how to go fast. Is it fair to say one of the problems in your career has been too many crashes?

My last three years at De Graaf were fantastic, but there was no real rider tutoring. It was hard for me. I would be in the top 10 and they'd be like 'go for it, go for it'. I'd be pushing 110 per cent all the time and sometimes I'd crash. With these new guys there are no worries.

They want me to build up slowly. In Valencia (first test) they asked me to go out and do my own thing. I only knew one way, pushed it and had a few crashes. In Jerez they took me to one side, went through things step by step and told me to take it easy. It proved to be the right thing to do. I did have a crash, but it was a bit unlucky. At this team there's no pressure at all. They just want me to go out and do my best. If my best is 10th, then it's 10th.

Who do you think will be your main rivals this year?

Judging by the test at Jerez, Marquez and Espagaro are far ahead. Vasquez has been quite quick this year, then you had Bradley, Nico (Terol) and me. After the top six, there was a big gap back to seventh. So, it looks like I'll be in the shake-up at the front.

There are a couple of changes on the calendar this year, notably the British GP moving from Donington to Silverstone. You won't be too disappointed about that, will you?

I liked Donington, but things never seemed to go my way. Silverstone looks like it'll be a good track. It looks fast, which is what I like. I'm looking forward to going there.

You've just turned 19 and have been brought up in the world of MotoGP. Is it all glitz and glamour?

It's been good, for sure. But from the age of 13 I've been away from home. At 14 I had an injury in Spain. I was in a hospital on my own. It was all a bit daunting. What it has done has made me grow up a lot quicker. I can cope on my own. When I go away with my mum and dad, it's me telling them what to do!

As I say, it's not a bad life, but you don't get to see much of the cities. A normal weekend is going from the airport, to the hotel, to the track.

You must have a favourite destination?

Australia and Malaysia is usually in one trip. A couple of years ago, I stayed in Australia for a week and then had a week in Malaysia before the GP. The weather is a lot nicer than it is over here. In Malaysia, you get to go into their China Town and have them selling you all the fake stuff. It's a totally different culture and a really nice country. My mum was born there - so it's always been a bit special to me.

How important was it for you to stay in the MotoGP paddock?

When I found out about the team going bust, I was looking everywhere. AMA, World Superbikes, Supersport. Superbikes, with their four-stroke engines, would have been a big step, but I was looking at World Supersport and a Kawasaki ride.

However, I wanted to stay in MotoGP. When the 125 ride came up, it was ideal. MotoGP is the place to be. It's a nice lifestyle. You see the stars like (Valentino) Rossi wandering about, and Tom Cruise - famous names like that are huge fans and go to loads of races. It's nice to be there. GP is the ultimate. It's the best paddock in the world, but I've got to get the results. This year I want to make a big name for myself.

Do you get to mix with the big boys, the likes of Rossi and Casey Stoner?

Me and James Toseland (fellow Brit) got on really well last year. He's in World Superbikes now. It's a shame, he was helping me out and was a good friend. He didn't quite cut it, but was someone to look up to and is a great ambassador for the sport in this country.

Brad (Smith) gets on well with the good boys like Stoner and that. Me, I've got more in common with the likes of Colin Edwards and Rossi.

They're a lot more chilled out. Edwards is a bit crazy, but good fun. It's nice to have a big name like that to talk to. Edwards has been there and done it, but he's also been down in the dumps, as has Rossi. It's nice to mix with them.

Motorbikes and motorbike racing has always been seen as a bit rebellious. Are you saying it's not like that anymore?

Six years ago, before I arrived, everyone used to mess about all the time. Now, only Edwards and Rossi really do.

I was at a race last year, parked up on the Wednesday next to Edwards. He had his music blaring and was p***** out of his head. But, when it comes to it, he gets the job done.

I have fun. Me and Scott (Redding - another Brit, racing in Moto2 this year) used to have a laugh on our scooters, but when it was time to start working, we'd work.

However, unlike some people, I'm not going to be sat around on my own, in my motor home.

Edwards calls the big four (Rossi, Stoner, Jorge Lorenzo and Dani Pedrosa) aliens. What's it like watching them up close?

They are pretty unbelievable. Sometimes it's frustrating when your flight is booked early and you have to leave before the MotoGP race. Vale is the best out of them, but Casey, the way he rides that Ducati is incredible. People say it's all down to electronics, but you still need the confidence to whack open the throttle.

This year I think it might change a bit. Nicky (Hayden) and Ben (Spies) might be up there a bit closer, although those four will still be out in front and at the end, I'd back Rossi.

British rider Danny Webb has targeted a top ten finish when the new 125GP world championship gets underway in Qatar on Sunday night.

Webb, who will ride for the Andalucia Cajasol Aprilia squad in 2010, hasn’t finished outside of the top ten during the pre-season testing campaign and he said: “I can’t wait to get started and it’s been a really long winter but everything has worked out.

"The new team is really good to ride for. They are relaxed and help me and we have done well in all the pre-season tests.

"I’ve finished in the top ten at all our tests and at Jerez last week completed a number of race distances without any crashes.

"My aim is to repeat those top ten finishes at the opening three races and go from there. I’m comfortable on the bike and I’m confident about the first race.

"I like the Losail track and love racing under the floodlights. Let’s hope the rain stays away this year.”

Webb originally intended to ride for the WRB Aprilia squad this year before it folded in February because of a lack of funding.

The Andalucia Cajasol riders have been learning from one another throughout pre-season, as the British rider imparts his relative experience to his Spanish rookie team-mate.

A final chance for the preparation of the Aprilia machines that Danny Webb and Alberto Moncayo will ride for the Andalucia Cajasol team this season was taken at the Jerez circuit, where the duo finished their on-track work on Monday before the season starts in Qatar in just over a week.

Both riders recorded impressive times and World Championship newcomer Moncayo placed one position higher on the final timesheet than Webb, as the pair placed just inside the top ten times. Indeed, Moncayo was the highest placing rookie of the Jerez Test, underlining his potential.

The pair are learning a great deal from one another, as team chief Pedro Machado explained. “I am sure Danny will be a major reference for Moncayo when we go to circuits he doesn’t know,” he said. “Between the two there is a very good understanding, they get along and help one another.”

Machado continued: “We leave Jerez very happy with the results. We’ve confirmed that our expectations can be better than we thought at the start of the year, and we’re achieving results that are getting some attention. Alberto is recording times that are close to two seconds faster than those that could be expected from a rookie.”

Moncayo, who rode four wild card entries last year, was the 2009 Spanish National 125cc Champion and enters his first full campaign in 2010 alongside Webb, who embarks on his fourth World Championship season.
