BSB: Tommy Hill stars in new film July 23, 2006

Team Virgin Mobile Yamaha’s lead rider stars in a new DVD aimed at helping reduce casualties on the road.

The DVD will be officially launched in Team Virgin Mobile Yamaha’s hospitality facility at Oulton Park, Cheshire, tomorrow lunchtime (Saturday 22 July) at the ninth round of the British Superbike Championship.

The “Great Roads, Great Rides” DVD is a reference manual for riders and gives them all sorts of advice including; how to carry out basic maintenance at the start of the season to negotiating turns and bends on the roads in all weathers.

Launched by the Highways agency this weekend, the DVD features an exclusive interview with Team Virgin Mobile Yamaha’s Tommy Hill about what it takes to be an expert rider on and off the track.

Tommy Hill said: “I was thrilled to be asked to get involved with the Great roads, Great rides” project. It is so important riders use their heads and know the difference between riding on the road and racing on the track. Hopefully this DVD can help to reduce casualties on our roads.”

Members of the press and fans attending the race weekend at Oulton Park are welcome to attend the official launch of the DVD at 1pm this Saturday 22 July in Team Virgin Mobile Yamaha’s VIP hospitality in the paddock area. All those who attend will receive a free copy of the DVD.
