Q&A: Tommy Hill - EXCLUSIVE.

Saturday, 6th October 2007

British Superbike rider Tommy Hill has slotted comfortably into the SSP Yamaha World Supersport team, picking up two fifth place finishes for them. With the Championship now on it's final round he is determined to grab a podium finish. Hill is still looking for a ride for next year but he did hint at his options when he spoke to Crash.net Radio at Magny-Cours...

We had a bit of misfortune at the last round, the weekend started off as a bit of a downer for us as we didn't have the tyre that we usually run. Not a lot of people would know that as regards the public watching. Normally we have an SC2 which is a C compound, which is a fairly hard tyre and that tyre works with the Yamaha. We put another tyre in which is Honda's tyre that they have run for the season and that does not work with our bike. So we've got the tyre this weekend, I've just got to sit down with the data and telemetry people and find out where I'm going wrong!

Crash.net:
Are you feeling confident?

TH:
I am. I want to get on the podium this weekend, get the last round done and hopefully sign a deal for next year.

Crash.net:
Who will you be with next year?

TH:
No one at the moment. I'm talking and talking and talking….I'm just holding on for Honda in the UK seeing what they are doing. I know I am on their list of riders and I know there are about four other riders. There is talk of Leon Haslam coming to the World Championship with Airwaves, maybe with Leon Camier. There are some open doors there and I'm looking forward to it.

I want to get this season out of the way, maybe go away for a bit of a break and get on with next season. Next year I want to be with a competitive team and challenge for race wins and podiums, and there could be a British team in this Championship next year in Supersport. I could be team-mate to Craig Jones which would be good we both want to beat each other now even though we are in different teams. So us two in one team it might be carnage but it would be good racing.
