Jeremy McWilliams returns to MotoGP
Jeremy McWilliams is returning to MotoGP next season after being picked as one of new team Ilmor's two riders.
Australian Andrew Pitt will join Jeremy McWilliams, 42, who is still recovering from the injuries he sustained during a recent Ilmor test in Spain.
Jeremy McWilliams said: "I'm very pleased to be part of a new team and obviously I'm delighted to be back in MotoGP.
"We have a very good product to work with, but there is a lot of developing that needs to be done."
The Ilmor team is owned by Mario Illien, a Swiss veteran of motorsport ventures, and Jeremy McWilliams said: "Having spent some time with him and the team his passion and dedication is evident - you can see that he's not a man who's used to coming second.
"He takes his racing incredibly seriously, he's a legend and whilst I know his expectations in terms of hard work are high he's realistic about what we can achieve over the next year.
"We have a brand new bike and very little testing time. It's going to be hard but I'm really looking forward to it.
"At the end of the day, that's what MotoGP is all about - it's hard work - if it was easy, everyone would be doing it."
