I returned to the UK at the end of December so I got to see the worst of a British winter!

I have just recently got my ride all sorted for the year, I will be riding  under management of "THE MAIN MAN" Micky G who also manages three Factory superbike riders two of them include Glen Richards and Paul Young. I will be riding Yamaha R1's for Rhencullen Race Products in the British Superstock Championship. Rhencullen race products have supplied two bikes and some product deals but Micky G has sorted me just about everything else so I'm happy as he is a good guy.

I have ridden my number 1 bike a few times now and its going really well. My times first time out where good so the team was happy, even though I hadn't ridden a 1000cc before so I was a bit scared of the old throttle!

The official Championship launch is this weekend at Donington and we get a couple of sessions, I can't wait for that!

I will keep you posted of everything as it happens as it happens.

Just a quick update on Glen Richards and Paul Young, Glen had his first proper ride on his Factory Kawasaki's at Cadwell Park last weekend and is looking like he will kick ass! Paul just got back from a three day test at Valencia on his Factory R1's and was doing very comparable times to his team-mate Mr Hislop until he suffered food poisoning on the last day! Stay away from Spanish Chicken...

Take it easy...
