I'm still staggered that Hicky reckons the best way to go fast at the TT is to spin the rear tyre

Yeah, it's how I'd do it myself I think, to be fair.

I don’t think he was being condescending to be fair.

He has ridden for them forever.

No. He’s been making noise for a while about trying something new.

Reckon he fancies a BMW.

OMG racing are running a team at the North west and TT in 2020.
Riders to be announced in the next few days.

Hillier on a OMG BMW is a very good shout

Seems likely doesn’t it?
You’d think Hillier would be looking for a bit more experience team wise BUT I’m sure OMG will have done their research and recruitment with that regard.

Hillier was my first thought too, then maybe Coops ?

[DarthtaterM16]

Davo Johnson confirmed on the first OMG BMW.

Hillier to be announced tomorrow..?

[DarthtaterM16]

Hillier confirmed at OMG BMW for Superbike, superstock and supersport (Yam R6) for the NW200 and TT.

Strong line up for OMG.

Sounds very interesting. Look forward to seeing what JH does away from Kawasaki.

[DarthtaterM16]

Smiths racing have switched to the Yamaha R6 for supersport duty on the roads next season. The Triumph is just a bit too old now apparently.

Really interested to see what James can do on the OMG BMW, lucky enough to catch up with him at Donny in Sept and shared a garage, was there with the full Kwak team and could tell he wasn't really happy i think, was actually there selling his TT zx10 to a rich mexican guy that had flown over to test it.

Was really looking forward to going for the first time this year but due to my dad now set to become a grandad for the first time in June, he wants to postpone.

I’ve got 2 bike places going spare from Liverpool going on the 4th and back on the 11th if anyone is interested? Just after the deposit back.

[DarthtaterM16]

John Mcguinness has signed for Bournemouth Kawasaki for the North west and TT. Superbike, Stockers and 600's.

Interesting move. Good for both parties.

[rigga]

Didn't see that coming, thought Bournemouth were taking a complete break, and JM might get a Duke ride with Birdy. Great he has backing for this year, even if he doesn't get close to winning, but is on a competitive bike, which the zxr is, then it might be enough to convince him either way to hang up his boots, or keep going.
