Hill back on track in 2010

Tommy Hill is looking ahead with confidence after signing to race for the Worx Crescent Suzuki team in 2010.

The 24-year-old, whose career has been plagued by injuries, will contest the British Superbike Championship as part of a two-man team.

He was given a chance last year with the Worx Suzuki team to cover for the injured Sylvain Guintoli at Mallory Park.

Hill qualified in second place before being caught-up in an accident.

He was kept on for the following round scoring two top five finishes at the Brands Hatch triple header.

The Lingfield hotshoe filled in for the Hydrex Honda rider Karl Harris after he was sacked by the team and achieved a seventh and sixth position on his first outing at Croft followed by two fifth positions at Silverstone.

On landing the ride with Yukio Kagayama, the team looks set to be one of the most dynamic and talented on the grid.

Hill said: "I'm over the moon. I've worked with the team before, and so for me going into winter testing with a team that I've already worked with is fantastic.

"The Suzuki GSX-R1000 is a cracking bike, to have that and a team that I want to work with is so important – that's always good for a rider's confidence.

"In the British championship we have a long winter period, but I just want to get on with the season right now and get racing again."
