Former MotoGP star Jeremy McWilliams will return to the track this weekend to back-up his Racedays protege Josh Elliott at the Sachsenring depsite still suffering with a broke ankle.

The ex-Aprila works rider had to have his ankle plated after being taken out at the Lausitzring a little over six weeks ago where he was taken out by a fallen rider.

Racedays team boss Gerry Bryce said: "Jeremy will be hoping to join 15- year-old protege Josh on the podium. Josh finished second and third at the last round, with an improved electronics package courtesy of Direct CCTV the team are hoping one of their riders will be on the top step at this Honda friendly circuit."
