McAdoo Kawasaki Racing have signed Manxman Conor Cummins to compete at the Southern 100 and the Ulster Grand Prix road races.

22 year old Conor is a fast rising star in road racing and won the Duke Road Race Championship in 2007, his first full season in road racing at the tender age of 21. He has enormous potential and the team are excited to get back into racing with Conor after missing the TT.

Nicknamed the ‘2 metre man’ due to his 6 foot plus stature, Conor will race the team’s Kawasaki ZX-10R and ZX-6R Ninja machinery.

Excellent news. I'll be over on Thursday only with the wide awake club (24hr dash across - fuelled by caffeine) and looking forward to it. Here's hoping for better weather than last year. Anyone else going?

Fantastic news... see you there, Andy.

does that mean he's split with van fit or did they not plan to take in these events?

No split from Vanfit, but no bikes from them either for the Southern or the Ulster. Apparently he will still be doing the BSB meetings with them.

Good Luck to Connor I`m a big fan, a good lad and very talented racer.

Had an interesting chat with him about tyres at Snetterton !
