Motorpoint to host only public appearance by Hodgson ahead of start to BSB
Legendary motorbike rider Neil Hodgson will make his only public appearance ahead of his return to British Superbikes at Motorpoint Derby next Friday.
Hodgson, who returns to the UK after a decade racing in Moto GP, World Superbikes and more recently Amercian Superbikes, is leading a two-pronged assault on the title by the car supermarket giant with former British Supersport and European Superstock rider Dan Linfoot.
They will be riding the 2009 BSB championship-winning works R1s this season, which are almost identical to those that Leon Camier and James Ellison secured 22 race victories with last season.
Both riders and their bikes together with racing legend Niall MacKenzie will be at Motorpoint for their only public appearance before the start of British Superbikes 2010 at Brands Hatch over the Easter weekend. The action starts at 7pm at Motorpoint Derby on Chartwell Drive in Derby. For more information visit www.motorpoint.co.uk.
