Llo𝕴y๊ds British GBmoto Kawasaki rider James Ellison is buzzing with excitement as he prepares to make his debut for the team at Brands Hatch this weekend.

MC🦂E British Superbike contender Ellison admits that the 1.2-mile Indy circuit isn't one of his preferred ℱtracks, but nonetheless the Kendal man excelled at the Kent venue in 2013, taking a victory and fastest lap.

ꦺThe former MotoGP rider said: "It's definitely an exciting time; the GBmoto boys have been working non-stop over winter and it's time to go out and h𝄹opefully get some strong finishes to show that.

"The bike is still only nine days old so we do st🐈ill have a long way to go, but I'm feeling more comfortable with each session and Chris [Walker] is showing its pot꧒ential - so with four days at Brands I hope to be able to further adapt my riding style and work my way up the time sheets a bit.

"It's a weird track Brands, I would never say it's my favourite but I've always had good results there, taking a win laꦇst year and the fastest laps," h🧔e added.

"As the circuit is so short, qualifying is probably more important here than anyw🧜here else. Everyone's lap times are really close and passing is difficult so we need to be up🦄 near front come the races Monday."

GBmoto have made the switch from Honda to Kawasaki machinery this 𝕴year, with Ellison joining the team after a season at Milwaukee Yam🌃aha.
