FFX Yamaha riders Ian Hutchinson and Andy Reid return to track action at Snetterton in Norfolk
08:00, 11 June 2014
A determined FFX Yamaha team return to action this weekend at Snetterton in Norfolk for the third round of the MCE Insurance British Superbike Championship as the season resumes after a six-week break.
Ian Hutchinson returns to circuit racing following his recent appearances in the North West 200 and Isle of Man TT road races, and after scoring his best result of the season last time out at Oulton Park, he's fully-focused on building on the team’s previous results.
In the Pirelli National Superstock 600 Championship, Andy Reid will be bidding to maintain his winning momentum and extend his two-point lead in the overall standings after celebrating two of the three victories so far this season.
Hutchinson said: "I am going to Snetterton to really start my season again this weekend. I haven’t done as many laps of the 300 circuit as some of the other riders but we did do the pre-season test there earlier in the year and I feel that we have a relatively good place to start now this weekend.
"I want to get stuck into the races this weekend and I hope that we can pick up where we left off after race two at Oulton Park, when we got into a rhythm and the FFX Yamaha was working well."
Reid said: "I am still as confident as ever and we just need to recap on what we have done so far and try and keep that going.
"We have had the highs of some race wins and we have been working hard as a team, but we need to keep pushing so that we can do the same again at Snetterton.
"We have done some laps already this season at the official test before the opening round and that also gives us a bit more confidence too. I would like to keep the upper hand this weekend for sure."
