Rider: Neil Hodgson
Nationality: English
Team: Retired
Machine: Honda CBR1000RR (#100)
Born: November 20, 1973 in Burnley England

British-born Neil Hodgson worked his way through the ranks of the European club racing series before eventually catching a ride on the Harris Yamaha Grand Prix team in 1995. After a year of crashing and getting beat up on the burly 2-strokes he made the switch to Ducati World Superbike in 1996.

Highly skilled both as a racer and as a development rider, Hodgson became a member of the Honda Racing team piloting the CBR1000RR to a sixth-place finish in 2008 and 11th in 2009.

Neil Hodgson took two checkered flags at Phillip Island.
