"To have a full attack in Superstock is going to be brilliant on the all-new Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR, so I am looking forward to 🌸enjoying riding again!

"These past two years have been tough, but in Superstoc💃k, I seem to have a gooꦏd pedigree with two titles previously.

"The last time I raced a Kawasaki in Superstock I won the title♍ in 2012 with Birdy so hopefully I can do the same again♛ with a new team."
