The FHO Racing BMW Motorrad team is thrilled to support Conor Cummins at this year’s Armoy Road Races on Friday, July 26, and Saturday, July 27.
Faye Ho’s team will provide Manxman Conor with a BMW M 1000 RR Superbike for the races, marking a first for the FHO Racing squad at this event. Conor, however, has prior experience at the Armoy Road Races, having competed in 2012 and 2013 with strong results.
This afternoon, Conor will ride the FHO-supported BMW Superbike for the first time during a private test session, giving him an hour on track to familiarize himself with the new machine before heading to Northern Ireland for the races next week.
Armoy, a small village in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, is six miles from Ballycastle and nine miles from Ballymoney, nestled under the shadow of Knocklayd mountain. Situated on the River Bush within the Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council area, Armoy lies between two of the nine Glens of Antrim, Glenshesk and Glentaisie – with Glenshesk being part of the Armoy Race Circuit.
Conor Cummins:
“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 really 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.”
Faye Ho – Team Principal:
“Myself and Darren, my Team Manager, have had our eye on Conor for a while now, and after the TT, we started discussing how we could possibly work together. This has led to FHO supporting him for the Armoy Road Races. Conor is a super experienced rider, and I’m so pleased to be working with him for this event. As a team, we’re all looking forward to seeing how he performs and wish him the very best of luck.”
