"I feel that with the experience and equipment Milwaukee Yamaha have, I will be in a position 𒈔to challenge for big bike wins not onꦐly at my home 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 are 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 rig🌠ht from the word go.

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