Conor Cummi♛ns has decribed his deal to join Shaun Muir's🎐 British Superbike Championship Milwaukee Yamaha team as a "fantastic opportunity".

The 26-year-old from Ramsey completes Muir's ෴roads line-up for 2013 with Northern Ireland's William Dunlop, who was confirmed in the team last month.

Cummins will contest the North West 200, Isle of Man TT and Ulster Grand🧸 Prix plus th🍷e Southern 100.

He also has the option of retu🌃rning to the Macau Grand Prix ne♈xt November.

Cummins, back to full fitness after a life-threatening accident at the﷽ TT in 2010, said: "This is a fantastic opportunity for me🀅 and I can't thank Shaun Muir and his team enough for the chance to join a championship-winning outfit.

"I feel that with the experience and equipment Milwaukee Yamaha have, I will be in a position to challenge for big bike win🅰s not only at my home꧙ event, the TT, but in the other internationals as well.

"In the past, I have been very close to it but I now I see a clear way forward and my sights areܫ firmly set on the podium, starting with the North West 200 😼in May."

Team principal🌺 Muir added: "With Ian Hutchinson still on the sidelines, I needed to find someone capable of pushing William right from the wo꧟rd go.

"Conor is experienced, 🦂fast and has a huge will to win, so we are expecting great things from both in 2013."
