Gary Mason is an experienced British short circuit rider

Gary Mason is to replace his injured MSS Colchester Kawasaki team-mate Simon Andrews for the North West 200.

Andrews suffered foot and heel injuries in a crash at a recent World Superbike round at Valencia.

Mason is the reigning British Superbike Privateer Champion and will be making his debut at the road race event.

"I'm really excited about this, the North West is a legendary place. The team have asked me to go out and I couldn't be more keen," said Mason.

He will join a strong MSS squad for the North West, joining Irish riders Ryan Farquhar and Stephen Thompson.
