Jeremy McWilliams (born 4 April 1964 in Belfast, Northern Ireland), is a Grand Prix motorcycle road racer. He often competed on V-Twin bikes in the 500cc series, matching the more powerful four-strokes in qualifying but rarely in the races. As of the end of the 2006 season, he remains the only British rider to win a race or pole in an FIM MotoGP World Championship class in the 2000s.
For 2007, he will be racing in the MotoGP series for the Ilmor team [1], despite a heavy crash in testing in late 2006 [2]. He had to miss the first race of the season in Qatar, due to another crash, near the end of the Losail International Circuit.
