Danny Buchan will be back in MCE British Superbike action at this weekend’s Assen round as he stands in for the injured Billy McConnell.

The Essex narrow boy is already looking forward to building on his previous experience in the premier class before he gets set for the final title deciding round of the Pirelli National Superstock 1000 Championship at Brands Hatch in October.

 “I am excited to get this opportunity as I didn’t get to ride at Assen last year and it is one of the races I had looked forward to the most. I have to thank my Morello Racing team for letting me join Quattro Plant FS-3 Kawasaki for the weekend and I have no real expectations. I am going to Assen to fill in for Billy and do the best job I can for the team,” he said.

“It will be a great experience for me as I really didn’t want to watch the Assen round from the sofa. I am looking forward to getting my eye in and get back on a Superbike, especially as it is a Kawasaki so it shouldn’t be such a big transition. I know what to expect and I am looking forward to mixing it again with the boys as there is no better prep for the final round of the Superstocks at Brands Hatch than that.”
