few years as a team manager were with Honda. Un-
able to come to terms with the team at the end of the
2012 season, Kehoe took the year off and is now
ready to get back down to business again — this
time with Pourcel and the Valli Motorsports Yamaha
Team.
"Some of my best years as a team manager were
with Yamaha," said Kehoe. "They gave me my first
shot at being a team manager and I remember quite
fondly Ernesto Fonseca winning that first champion-
ship in his rookie year and then following it up right
after with the then revolutionary YZ250F. I think we
can recapture that magic with Pourcel and the 2014
YZ250F."

HERRIN SET FOR LE MANS RETURN
A
irAsia Caterham Moto Rac-
ing's Josh Herrin will return to
action in this weekend's French
Grand Prix, the AMA Superbike
Champion ending a three-week
recovery from a broken collar-
bone.
Herrin, who suffered the injury
in a Supermoto training session,
missed the last two GPs.
"I'm pleased to say that my
recovery has gone really well,"
Herrin said. "Missing the last two
rounds has been frustrating for
me, but it has allowed my collar-
bone to heal as well as giving me
the time to build up my training
again so that I am in a good con-
dition for Le Mans. To be physi-
cally prepared is very important
and I want to thank the team for
supporting me throughout the
past few weeks and allowing
me the time to recover properly.
Watching the championship on
TV is no fun at all once you have
been on track with these guys,
so I'm really excited to get back
on the bike and go racing again.
Le Mans is a new track for me to
learn but hopefully I can get up to
speed quickly and challenge for
the points."
Herrin has failed to finish either
of his two Moto2 starts thus far
this season.
Josh Herrin will return
to Moto2 action this
weekend in France.
