Crash.net is reporting that Neil Hodgson, the 2000 British superbike racing champion will be returning to the series with Rob Mac Racing. Neil will be riding the Yamaha YZF-R1 which is the current production racing weapon of choice having won the 2009 British superbike championship with Leon Camier and the 2009 World superbike championship with Ben Spies.
In an ironic twist of fate Neil will be taking the seat vacated by 2000 British superbike runner-up "The Stalker" Chris Walker.
I really enjoyed watching Neil race in the AMA superbike championship for the past several years but a combination of injuries and the under-funded Honda racing effort this past year meant he was never really competative but managed to run near the front a few times.
Best of luck Neil. I'll be watching.
