Fan favourite Sean Emmett is to stand in for Steve Plater in the AIM Yamaha team for the next BSB round at Thruxton while the Lincolnshire man is away on world endurance duties with GMT94 Yamaha.
Emmett, who will also be on the Hill Aldridge Yamaha bike in the R1 Cup, is more tan familiar with the airfield circuit and cites it as it as one of his favourites - but it very nearly bit him not so long ago when he looked behind him while leading a BSB race, lost his grip on the bars and the rest is history.
We will have comments from Sean later on today.
