Bournemouth roads specialist James Hillier will remain with the Quattro Kawasaki team after signing another deal with team boss Pete Extance.

He will contest the three big internationals with the team who next year will get more technical help from Kawasaki’s World Superbike head honcho Ichiro Yoda (no, really). Win the Senior you will hmmmm?

"It's fantastic that Kawasaki have acknowledged our efforts and success over the years with James Hillier and are now helping us in our attempt to take wins in the Superbike and Senior races at the TT Races and North West 200,” said Extance.

“Yoda brings a wealth of experience from the WSBK squad with the ZX10 R and it will be great for our technicians to get his guidance and technical support. We hope to be able to test in Spain with Yoda early next year to start our preparations."
