I\u2019ve been at Armoy every year since it began in some guise or other and it wouldn\u2019t be the same if I didn\u2019t make it to Armoy. Keith Amor has raced and won at Armoy before but it\u2019ll be interesting to see what this year is going to be like.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConnor was a newcomer last year and did incredibly well with a second in the Junior Support race, followed up with a first and setting a new lap record in the Senior Support race to give him his first Armoy win, pretty good going I\u2019d say.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDanny Webb,\u00a0former MotoGP World125GP and Moto3 racer\u00a0has got great credentials\u00a0and having\u00a0previously competed in Supersport World Championships, I\u2019m really looking forward to seeing what he is going to make of Armoy\u2019s demanding three mile circuit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no doubt that the Roadside Garages Kia sponsored 650 Super Twin Race at Armoy is going to be very interesting. It is one of those races that is just a wee bit special and I always enjoy it one way or another and given the Hamilton, McWilliams tussle last year that Jamie won, but Jeremy set the new Super Twin lap record, well let\u2019s just say, you never know what this year will throw up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bill Kennedy, Clerk of the Course said, \u201cI\u2019m delighted with the line up that the Ryan Farquhar KMR\/SGS Kawasaki team is bringing to Armoy. All three riders have great pedigree whether it is Keith Amor, Danny Webb or Connor Behan, and I\u2019m really looking forward to seeing them all in action. It will make for a very exciting Supertwin race. The KMR\/SGS Kawasaki team is going to be one of the more formidable teams and I advise you to keep an eye on them over the two days of racing at Armoy.<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy also welcomed back Roadside Garages Kia as sponsors for the 650 Supertwin Race; \u201cRoadside Garages Kia have been a great supporter to the Armoy Road Races for a number of years now. They provide us with sponsorship and two Kia race officials vehicles, which are branded with the AMRRC logo and Race Week dates. This is a great way to raise the profile of the event and without support from sponsors like this the race just wouldn\u2019t happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ian Lamont, Sales Manger at Roadside Garages, said, \u201cRoadside Garages has been involved with the Armoy Road Races for the last three years. It\u2019s a great relationship, which works for both Armoy and Roadside Garages Kia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEach year it is just gets better and better, the Club is doing a fantastic job and I commend them for the way they engage and look after their sponsors \u2013 it couldn\u2019t be better! It\u2019s hard to believe this is only their sixth year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce again it\u2019s a privilege to be involved and along with the Ryan Farquhar KMR\/SGS Kawasaki team added to the Super Twins race it looks that there is going to be some great road racing!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Armoy Road Races are sponsored by the Northern Ireland Tourist Board\u00a0and Moyle District Council&#8217;s Tourism Events Fund.<\/p>\n<p>Bike Week 2014 is from 20<sup>th <\/sup>\u2013 26<sup>th<\/sup> July.
