The Maxxis Apico Suzuki squad will welcome a familiar face to the team for a one-off ride at the Foxhill round of the British Motocross Championship later this month (July 24), as Lewis Gregory makes a return to the team after nearly three-years away.

Lewis, who last raced for the Rob Hooper run team back in 2008, will contest the latest RM-Z250 in the MX2 class at the Foxhill circuit near Swindon, alongside existing team riders Steven Clarke and Kayne Lamont.

Lewis Gregory: "I'm very much looking forward to getting back on a Hooper Suzuki at Foxhill, it's like coming home for me. I enjoyed my time with Rob and the team immensely and since then have been dogged with arm-pump issues, which have really impacted on my racing. To come back at Foxhill, with a bike as competitive as the RM-Z250 with a team I know well, is a perfect scenario and should give me no better environment to do well. I can't wait."

Riding alongside Gregory will be existing riders Kayne Lamont and Steven Clarke, who have both been buoyed by recent good performances. Clarke comes to Foxhill encouraged by a great race win in the Masters Championship recently and Lamont after taking an MX2 class win at Rhayder last week.

Rob Hooper: "It's great to welcome Lewis back for Foxhill and especially to do it at a time when the spring is well and truly back in our step as a team. Steven rode extremely well in his last outing, turning around his fortunes and Kayne's taken his first win since arriving on British soil, so while I like to remain realistic, I'm feeling quite optimistic for the Foxhill round."
