Top Irish team supports Conor

Manx bike racing star Conor Cummins has been signed by McAdoo Kawasaki Racing for the next two big road races in this year's calender.

Twenty-two year-old Conor, who lives in Ramsey, will compete for McAdoo at the Southern 100 next week and at the Ulster Grand Prix later in the summer.

Despite a disappointing TT this year, he is seen as a rising star in the sport and won the Duke Road Race Championship in 2007, his first full season.
