Fresh from a successful outing at the Barry Sheene Classic at Oliver's Mount three weeks ago, Team ILR duo Ian Lougher and Jim Hind return to North Yorkshire this weekend to compete at the annual Gold Cup meeting.

Both will again be on the immaculate Team ILR - Mark Coverdale S1-R Patons which were used to great effect last time out with Lougher scoring a race win to take his all-time Oliver's Mount winner's record to 141, he also registered third and fourth place finishes to show he is still very much at the cutting edge.

Circuit and fastest newcomer Hind was a revelation at the Barry Sheene Classic, on top of race wins in the 250 class Jim had second, third and fourth place results on the Paton as well as giving a good account of himself in the Supersport class on the Team ILR - Mark Coverdale Kawasaki ZX-6R, a bike he will again ride this weekend.

The Gold Cup is the first of two meetings over the coming weeks for the team with a return to the British Supersport Championship paddock pencilled in one week later at Oulton Park where another exciting young prospect Joe Loughlin returns to the team to compete on the Team ILR - Mark Coverdale R6 Yamaha.

This will be Loughlin's first visit to the Cheshire circuit and his debut at a BSB meeting, but like Hind he has proven in the past that he is a quick learner, and he is familiar with the team and its personnel having worked with Team ILR at last year's Ulster GP where he came so close to wins in both Supertwin races.
