Conor Cummins will return to the Billown Course for this year’s Southern 100 Races.
The Ramsey Rocket will make his comeback with his own team, Conrod Motorsport.
Cummins first raced at the Southern 100 in 2006 and competed annually through to 2014, with the exception of 2010 and 2013. His sole Billown victory came in the 1000cc race during the 2007 Post TT Races.
Over his Southern 100 career, Cummins has secured four second-place finishes and 11 third places.
Southern 100 Chairman George Peach welcomed the news: “We’re absolutely delighted to welcome Conor back to the Southern 100. He’s a rider of immense talent and determination.
“His return, especially with his own team is fantastic news for the event and the fans. It adds real excitement to this year’s Isle of Man Steam Packet Company Southern 100 Road Races.”
Cummins added: “It just feels like the right time to come back to the Friendly Races. I’ve got some great memories from racing there over the years and am looking forward to returning now with my own team Conrod Motorsport.
“I’m really looking forward to getting back out there.”
