Conor Cummins' on Board for 2009
4 Days ago
Team Blackhorse Yamaha are pleased to announce that they have secured the services of Conor Cummins to compete on their R1 Superstock machine in next year's BSB 1000cc Superstock Championship. The foundations for the deal were laid at the end of the 2008 series when the 22 year old Manxman raced for the team in the final two rounds at Silverstone and Brands Hatch where he posted strong ninth and twelfth place finishes respectively, in what for Conor was a 'getting to know you' period with Team Blackhorse Yamaha and their R1 Superstock machine.

Island ace Cummins set to tackle Mountain Course
16 March 2006
Conor Cummins has become the latest top flight newcomer to be signed up for this year's Isle of Man TT Races. The Manx resident will line up in the Superbike, Superstock and Senior events and will also be one of the youngest participants in the event, at just 20 years of age. For the last two seasons, the Ramsey born and bred rider has been competing in the high profile Virgin Mobile Yamaha R6 Cup, ran alongside the British Superbike Championship, finishing 6th and 9th overall in 2004 and 2005 respectively. At 6"5, the teenager had a significant presence in the field, where he regularly featured at the front of the pack, and for 2006 he will make the step up to the British Superstock Championship, campaigning his own R1 Yamaha. A North West 200 debut was already agreed but he has now decided to sample the TT as well and although a surprise to some, Conor is in no doubt that it is the right decision.
