Seems Hizzy has got a ride for rest of season! His old bikes from last year in fact! How does everyone think he will get on?
Personally i think this will be great!

If this is the case then I'd expect to see him on the podium regularly.

He'll be out to prove that the only reason he wasn't performing well in the early season was down to the bikes he was riding !

I am really delighted to hear this news, he deserves it !

That sounds like really great news...where did you hear? What are the details?

Here you are Helen ! :-)))))

OOps ! my mistake although MCN is supposed to be carrying the story somewhere ?

I've searched everywhere and I can't find anything...???

Yeah, I know Helen me neither.

This is a quote from a message on another board

"according to this weeks MCN Hislop will be riding for the ETI team along with Sean Emmett, but he will not be riding at mondello his first outing will be at Oulton Park (10th Aug)"

Maybe it's in the printed copy of MCN but not in the online version, I dunno ?

Might actually have to go & buy a copy now !

Fingers crossed it IS true and not just another rumour, I'd love to see Steve get some decent machinery !

Yip its true apparently. Its on page 58.

He will be on his old Duc. He has signed a deal with ETI for the rest of the season.

"At least it gives me a chance to get some good results in the final few races of the year, so I can uphold my honour" he says.

He will make his debut at Oulton on August 10th, one of his favourite circuits, using last years settings and after getting some testing under his belt.

Thanks for that Malcolm !

Now go show em Hizzy !! :-))

Yippee! Hooray...fandabidozy!!! Go get 'em....best news I've had all year (except for your arrival, Jack Laidlow!!)
Steve...we couldn't be more pleased....maybe see you on one of my trips over soon.
Helen, Mary and the kids...(probably) Hizzy's biggest fans!

I reckon if we all go to the bookies the odds would be pretty good! I mean looking at this years results! Its got to be worth a few quid on a Hizzy Win?

Good luck Hizzy.

Well, I haven't looked at all the statistics, but...Shaky has only to be 5th or better in all the remaining rounds to win...nothing against him, either, cos he's a top guy too.(but he's not Steve.)

Hizzy deserves THE BEST--and no less !!

Go for it Steve....rub some noses in the s***e
