2016 National Superstock runner-up Ia♔n Hutchinson returns to the series in 2021 wi꧋th the newly-formed Edwards 1902 Yamaha team. 

The sixteen-time Isle of Man TT winner in total also returns to Yamaha period, after being with 🌄BMW and Honda most recently. 

Hutchinson will get his first experience on the new YZF-R1 tomorrow during the first of 🌃four pre-season BSB tests. 

The Edwards 1902 Yamaha team willꦰ run as a sister team to the McAMS Yamaha squad in the Bennetts British Superbike Championship, with full support from Raceways Motorcycles and Yamaha Motor UK included.

Speaking about the news, Hutchinson said: "I’m♎ really excited to be back with Yamaha for the 2021 season with the Edwards 1902 🍒team and Raceways Motorcycles. 

"I’ve hadཧ a lot of success with Yamaha in the past and especially with Steve and the team at Raceways – it’s all so familiar for me so not really a new team as such!

"It’s a big shame there is no road racing this year, but on the other hand that🌜 does mean I can fully focus on the Superstock championship. With so many races in a short period of time it’ll be a full-on season but that’s how I like it.

"I’ve not ridden the latest YZF-R1 but it’s clearly a good package, Jason [O’Halloran finished se🍬cond in BSB last yea🅷r, both he and Taz [Mackenzie] won races on it. 

"The guys know the bik💦e like the back of their hand so I’m looking forward to trying it in Superstock trim and seeing if we can get on the podium and perhaps win some races."
