Like a BMW bolt out the blue, I know corny! Anyway, I think it’s fair to say, only select road racing insiders were forecasting Conor Cummins and FHO Racing BMW joining forces.
Over a month since parting ways with Padgetts Racing, the ‘Ramsey Rocket’ has found pastures new.
His one event at present FHO Racing deal, sees the 12 times TT podium finisher armed with Superbike specification M1000RR BMW tackle for next week’s Armoy Road Races.
Summing up his joy about the deal with one of International road racing’s powerhouse squads, Cummins who will be returning to the Armoy ‘Race of Legends’ for the first time since 2013, stated via FHO Racing’s website:
“I’m absolutely over the moon to be given the opportunity to ride the FHO Racing BMW; I really can’t thank Faye, Darren and the entire team enough for this chance.
Everyone has been superb, and I just can’t wait to test the BMW for the first time later today and then head off to the Armoy Road Races next weekend.
I’m excited and feel like we’ve hit the reset button; this is a brilliant opportunity for me, and I just want to make the most of it, enjoy racing and see where it goes.”
