Hej,

Det har länge varit tyst om vad jag kommer köra i år men nu är det klart att jag kommer köra för Rob Mac Yamaha i British Superbike EVO.
Det hela började med att jag fick ett samtal från teammanagern och före detta Motogpstjärnan Rob McElnea som gav mig erbjudandet att köra för det officiella Yamaha teamet.
Jag kommer bland annat få Superbike världsmästaren från 2003, Neil Hodgson som teamkompis och mentor.
British Superbikes är det största och mest konkurrenskraftiga nationella roadracingmästerskapet i Världen.
Jag ser det här som är en språngbräda till MotoGP och World Superbike.
I Evo kategorin kör man med Superbike chassien, ingen form av elektroniska hjälpmedel och mindre trimmade motorer.

McElnea launches Evo team with Johansson

Rob McElnea has today confirmed that he will be running a team in the new BSB Evo class alongside his main championship team of Neil Hodgson and Dan Linfoot after signing young Swedish rider Hampus Johansson.
Johansson has previously competed in the European Superstock Championship, but the BSB rookie has now made the switch to the world's best domestic bike race championship and is now eager to begin testing next month alongside Hodgson and Linfoot from the Motorpoint Yamaha team ahead of his debut at Brands Hatch on Easter weekend.
Johansson said: "This is a real exciting time for me; to be able to join Rob's team with the new Evo bike and be ready at the start of this new series is going to be fun. This is only my fourth season on road racing so this is a very fast learning curve. I know the British Championship is probably the fastest domestic series in the world; the current World Supersport Champion and the majority of the front row of World Superbike riders have come from the BSB so it has to be good for me! It will be tough to learn all the tracks and the new bike but we are all looking forward to the challenge."
Team Owner McElnea concluded: "This is a very exciting new project; the Evo class is something we wanted to get involved with, not just for the development opportunity but more for us to be able to encourage new young riders. To be able to bring over a young Swedish rider is a real coup for us and the series. The British Championship continue to be the breeding ground for our new riders and Hampus sees this new Evo class as a huge opportunity for him."




Alla race kommer sändas på Eurosport.



Hälsningar Hampus Johansson
