Eugene Laverty competes this weekend at the San Marino 250cc Grand Prix at Misano.
Last year, Laverty snatched the final points scoring finish at the final turn.
Laverty is now set for a busy six weeks undertaking six races in four different continents.
Out of the following 38 days he will be sitting on a bike for 19 of them having taken on two wildcard rides for the Yamaha World Supersport team.
Laverty said: 'I have a busy period ahead of me now that I've taken on two rides in the World Supersport Championship as well as continuing my Grand Prix campaign.
'The next weekend I have off will be in mid-October, which seems a long way away.
'This weekend I want to finish in the points and as always beat up a few of the official bikes.
'I like the circuit, particularly the fast rights after the back straight.
'Last year, I was able to go full gas through the first of the rights, whereas the faster bikes had to back off so that was a nice feeling. I scored one point here last year so I’ll be aiming to better that.'
Laverty will have a change of team-mate for this weekend with Manuel Hernandez replacing Russell Gomez, who has decided to switch back to the Spanish Championship following a difficult debut in the World Championship.
