Last year's winner of the Open Invitation Race, this year sponsored by Around-A-Pound returns to defend his title. Riding his BPE Russell Racing Yamaha R6 many see him as the man to beat.
Richard - well known to fans in Northern Ireland having won a Superport race at this year's NW200 on the same machine, is also a regular BSB competitor.
I think we all are looking forwards to another epic Open Invitation Race.
