Mark Lewis-Francis has vowed to bounce back from his disappointing start to the season in front of his home crowd in Birmingham on Friday.

Lewis-Francis is seeking his first win of the season

The sprinter will be racing at the Norwich Union Grand Prix, the third Energizer EuroSeries meeting of the year.

Lewis-Francis, a leading contender for the World Indoor title, has yet to claim a 60m win this year.

The 20-year-old finished a distant sixth to the American Coby Miller at the opening Energizer EuroSeries meeting in Ghent.

"I was obviously disappointed in Ghent and maybe a bit tired going into the race," said Lewis-Francis.

"The important thing is I know I can run much faster than that.

"One slightly under-par run does not affect my overall game plan for the season, and the aim now is to get my head down for the Grand Prix and Trials.

"You'll see a different Mark Lewis-Francis in Birmingham."

Lewis-Francis will return to Birmingham a week later for the World Trials, the selection meeting for the British World Indoor Championship team.
