Quattro Plant Kawasaki's James Hillier will comඣpete in every class this year at the Vauxhall International North West 200.

Hillier♔ will contest the Superbike, Superstock, Supersport and Supertwin classes for the Bournemouth-based team at the famous road race meeting in Northern Ireland in May.

The 28-year-old - a winner in the Lightweight race at the Isle of Man TT last year - believes his best chance of a maiden win at the North West lies ❀in the Supertwin class.

"Probably my best odds of success are in the Supertwins races," Hillier said. "I would like to♒ improve on my position in every clas🌟s this year so to do that in the Twins I will have to win.

"We will have a new bike that will be better than la🐽st year's ER6 with some engine changes and chassis improvements and there🌜 is more to come from me as well.

🏅"Over the last couple of years the Supertwins races have been run in damp or wet conditions and I wasn't really sure how hard to push from the start so I hope it ꦆwill be dry this year and I get away well at the beginning."

Hillier - who also finished on the podium in third place behind Michael Rutter and Alastair Seeley in 🦩the Superstock class in 2012 - says the North West 200 presents a challenge unique to any road race meetingও in the world.

"I love it. I like going fast and that is what the North West is all about. There is a lot of grinning inside the helm𒀰et," he said.

"It is very different from any other road race because it is all about𓆉 speed and brak🔯ing.

"You need to get a good start and be with the boys at the front at the end of the first💛 lap to have any chance of winning. Then it is all dowꦜn to who can brake the latest on the last lap."

Team boss Pete Extance added: "Both♔ the team and Kawasaki UK worked hard to retain the services of James for the coming season after his successes on the roads last season and🐭 his steady progression towards being a top flight roads rider.

"We are determined to finish the job off and put James on ꦜthe top step in many international road races this year."
