After making his World Superbike debut for Suzuki in Navarra earlier this year, Naomichi Uramoto will now get his first taste of British Su🐲perbike action this weekend. 

Uramoto replaces Build🃏b🧸ase Suzuki rider Danny Kent who is still recovering from a hip injury suffered at Donington Park

The Japanese rider will becom𝕴e the fourth different ridಞer to compete alongside Gino Rea since Kent’s injury - the others being Luke Stapleford, Tim Neave and TT specialist Michael Dunlop. 

Ahead of his British Superbike debut, Uramoto said: "I always find it exciting to race at🦂 a new circuit, or with a new team, or in a new championship, and this weekend will be extra-exciting as I have to do all three. 

"I am re🧔ally grateful to Steve [Hicken – team manager] that he and the team have given me this opportunity. 

"Building experience is imporꦑtant, by all means, but racers are alway🌸s hungry for results, and I am looking forward to trying to do just that."

Uramoto current👍ly competes in the RFME Spanish Superbike Championship with JEG Racing, the same outfit he completed hi༺s WorldSBK wildcard appearance with. 

"We’re lookin✃g forward to welcoming Naomichi into the team this weekendꦇ," added Team Manager, Steve Hicken. 

"He’ll have a lot to learn, with both the bike and the circuit, but we’re confꦯident we can gi🧸ve him the tools to give a good account of himself, gain some experience in BSB, and get the best results he can as a newcomer to the series."
