TT star Ian Lougher and his long-time backers Blackhorse Motorcycle Finance have made a dramatic switch to Yamaha for the 2008 season.
Team Blackhorse will become an official YMUK ‘Roads Team’, spearheaded by the vastly experienced Lougher with up-and-coming Olie Linsdell as his teammate.
Welshman Lougher started racing back in 1982 and will continue in the combined role of motorcycle racer, team owner and manager, a role which he has embraced and taken to considerable success over recent years.
With unrivalled knowledge, expertise and a full stable of Yamaha state of the art machinery at their disposal Team Blackhorse Yamaha will be campaigning in the 600cc Supersport, 1000cc Superstock and for Ian, the prestigious Superbike classes throughout the 2008 racing season.
In addition to the team's short circuit schedule, Linsdell, will also line up alongside team boss, Lougher, for the three international road race events: the North West 200, Isle of Man TT and Ulster Grand Prix.
