James Hillier has reunited with some familiar faces in a last-ditch deal to r🎉id꧅e at the 2025 Isle of Man TT.

Hillier will rejoin Bournemouth Kawasaki after the c꧅ollapse of WTF Racin🍸g.

But he♕ will still feature at the TT next month after ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚstriking a new deal with Bournemouth Kawasaki, who had planned to sit the event out.

Hillier will race in two Supersport races for Bournemouth Kawasaki at the TT, riding a&💛nbsp;Ninja ZX-6R.

He is seeded at No5 in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:list of top 20 Supersport riders.

Hillier said: “After a difficult few days, it was great to secure a ride back with Pete and Bournemouth Kawasaki, especially as it was back with my Kawasaki ZX-6R from last 🦹year.

“We both know what we need t🔜o do, and I am sure we will hit the ‘25 TT running.

“Massive thanks to the team and everyone who has helped get th꧒is sorte🧸d at such short notice.”

He added: “Pete was obviously one of the first pಌeople I contacted when I found myself without a ride and it was very simple to arrange a deal for the Supersport cla♔ss.

“My old crew chief, Phil Biggs, will again look after th🙈e ZX-6R but I’m not afraid of work and if I had to work out the back of the van at the TT and sleep in it overnight, I’d do it – it’s simply a case of putting the big boy pants on and getting on with it!”

Pete Extance, Team Owner of Bournemouth Kawasaki, said: “202🌱5 started w🧜ith the idea of having a year out of the TT, but when that changed, we were only too happy to speak with James and put a deal together for him to ride the Bournemouth Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R.

“It didn’t take long for us to agree on a✨ deal with James to🍎 return, and we set to work preparing the bike for the TT starting in the last week of May.

“We firmly believe James and the team have podium potential, and hopefully, that second TT career win that J🔯ames richly deserves.”

Ross Burridge, Head of Marketing & Racing Department at Kawasaki Motors UK, said: “It was a shame to see what happened to 𒁏James earlier this month; however, it has presented us with a great opportunity to have anot🐠her go at getting on that Supersport podium at the Isle of Man TT.

“James and the team have a huge amount of experience with the bike and attacking the evenꩵt in general, so we are confident it will be a great two weeks. I would like to thank Kawasaki Insurance for getting on board at this late stage and helping put the team in a position to go full throttle into the two races at the end of this month.”
