Last years North West 200 marked his first venture into pure road racing.
He gelled quickly with the Triangle as he sealed highly creditable eleventh place finish in opening supersport race, finishing leading newcomer.
Supersport race two saw another high quality display, as he propelled the Gearlink backed ZX6R Kawasaki to ninth position, finishing in front of TT winners Michael Rutter and Gary Johnson.
Alongside making his TT debut, Ben is this year competing for the second time around the Triangle. He is also going to be making his first foray into action around Dundrod, at the world’s fastest road race, the Ulster Grand Prix.
Ben is the latest rider to confirm his first mountain course appearance, during TT 2016, he joins Michael Booth, Alex Polita and Josh Day, as they all take to the most famous road racing circuit in the world, for the first time.
