It's a busy few weeks ahead for Team ILR with a blend of short circuit and road racing action to look forward to.

First up is this weekend's British Superbikes meeting at Brands Hatch where the team will again run Joe Loughlin on the Team ILR - Mark Coverdale R6 Yamaha, with Loughlin looking to gain further experience in the British Supersport Championship and build on his two 14th place rides last time out at Oulton Park.

Another rider looking forward to returning to the team awning at Brands was National Junior Superstock rider James Alderson, unfortunately James badly injured his shoulder at Donington Park two weeks ago requiring surgery, and everyone at Team ILR wishes him a speedy recovery.


From Brands it's on to Armoy for the popular road race meeting where Loughlin will be joined by Ian Lougher, both will ride Team ILR - Mark Coverdale Patons.

This will be Lougher's second outing in 2021 following on from some strong rides on the Paton at the Spring Cup at Oliver's Mount.

Ian will again link up with John Chapman at Armoy and will compete in the Classic 500 Race on John's iconic MV Agusta, a bike he is no stranger to having rode it at the Classic TT on the Isle of Man.

Joe will also be in action in the 600cc races at Armoy on his own ZX6 Kawasaki.
