KMR Kawasaki has today announced the signing of multiple Irish Road Racing Champion Derek McGee for the 2018 road racing season.
The Mullingar rider, who won the 2017 Superbike, Supersport and Supertwins Irish Road Racing Championships, will campaign Ryan Farquhar’s ER6 650cc Kawasaki at the North West 200 and Ulster Grand Prix and will also make his return to the Isle of Man TT races after missing this year’s event.
In addition, he’ll also campaign the IEG-sponsored machine at the National road races in both Northern and Southern Ireland.
"I'm delighted to get the opportunity to ride one of Ryan's bikes as he puts the best ones out there on the grid so I'll be looking to push on in 2018 especially at the Internationals," said McGee.
"Having missed the North West 200 and TT this year, I'm really looking forward to getting back to those meetings and will be putting a lot of effort into them with a view to getting on the podium like I've previously done at the Ulster GP. With Brian Hull's Kawasaki 600, my own Kawasaki ZX-10R and Gary Dunlop's Moto 3 machine, I'm very grateful for all the support I've got for next season and I can't wait for the first race to come around."
