Martin Glossop progressing to 600cc racing for 2010.
19-02-2010
I am pleased to help support Martin for his 2010 racing season progressing from his 125cc racing to 600cc either in Superstock 600 or Supersport. The decision on which class to race will be taken over the coming week and will be on this website, but either way it is a good opportunity for Martin to make that transition from 2-stroke to 4-stroke racing and to contiunue to develop his career.
I followed Martin during his season last year with KRP in the British 125cc Championship and his riding style makes me believe that he can be a leading British rider over the coming years given the opportunity to develop through the classes. I am pleased to be a part of that.
