Roads specialist James Hillier will join Steve Heneghan in Quattro Kawasaki's road racing team for 2013.

The Bournemouth racer bagged second place in the first Super Twin race at the TT last year and is a fast-improving prospect on the roads.

"It is great to have James back on board again in 2013. He has a great relationship with his crew chief and the staff in the team and is a real part of the Kawasaki family, I firmly believe James will be challenging for top honours in 2013," said team boss Pete Extance.

"The team also welcomes road regular Steve Heneghan to the team and we look forward to helping Steve improve his times at this year's TT."
