Looking to make it a
Treble, Thats Basildons Danny Buchan, A firm favourite with the Irish
race fans, Danny Buchan has confirmed his return to the Hillsborough MCC
end of season SUNFLOWER TROPHY RACE Meeting, which takes place at the
Bishopscourt Race circuit, Friday and Saturday 21st and 22nd October.
Whilst
2016 may not have bought the results he was capable of in British
Superbikes, Buchan, the former 2014 British 1000cc Superstock champion,
began the 2016 season with the Moto Rapido Ducati team, but
unfortunately things didn’t work out for him, and he returned to the
Tsingtao/MSS Kawasaki squad, However, just prior the Dutch round of the
BSB Championship last week, Danny and the team went their separate ways,
But the good news is, that he has returned to MSS Kawasaki, the same
team in which he sealed success last year at the Sunflower Trophy races
Buchan “ Looking forward to coming back to defend my title. Really want the 3rd in a row, to take the trophy home.
I
know it wont be easy with Glenn and a few others going, but I know it
will be a good fun, clean ,hard racing, and I looking forward to that, I
will be there with Nick Morgan on a BSB Spec superbike, that we call
the Hybird! as it was originally built in my Dads workshop!, so, yes, it
should be good fun!.
The
Sunflower is always a race that I look forward to, as There is always a
great turnout, and great crowds, so Yeah, hope to see you all there”
The
23 year old rider, will be aiming for his third victory in succession,
and if he can scoop the Sunflower trophy again this year, he will get to
Keep this Prestigious trophy!, an achievement that can be shared with
past triple winners, Scotlands Brian Morrisson and our own Michael
Laverty .
