Phase One Yamaha confirms Ben Wylie for roads campaign
The Phase One team has confirmed Ben Wylie, the top newcomer at the 2009 TT, wi🌠ll join Carl Rennie for this year.
After impressing on his debut on the Mountain Circuit, Wylie♚ will ride the Yamaha Supersport and Superbike machines at both the Isle of Man TT an♛d North West 200 in 2010.
His pꦓerformances at the 2009 TT, in the Supersport and Superstock classes, saw him end the festival as ✤top newcomer. In 2010, he will campaign in the Superbike and Senior TT races for the first time.
Phase One Manager Russell Benney said:
"Ever since working with Ben in the Shell Endurance Academy Team in 2005, I have been i꧃mpressed with his determination and grit. My challenge will be to help him channel that enthusiasm and to focus it on race success."
"Some of the skills he learnt in World Endura🐼nce will be drawn on this season. To be safe and competitive on the roads, he is going to need the ability to maintain extremely high levels of concentration for long periods; just like in the Le Mans 24 hours race."
"He will also need a h🅘igh level of physical fitness and must be mentally prepar൲ed."
A team insider added:
"We were really pleased to hear that Ben was back; ever a prankster and great fun to 🅷have around."
"He will learn a l🍬ot from Carl and, with no pressure on him, should perfor꧋m well."
Wylie will start t♔esting💧 with the team in Albacete next month.
