Firstly the new 2021 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR we will be campaigning this year looks like an exciting prospect and has all the necessary tools for us to do the job. Secondly; our ride line up is strong and exciting, our ongoing association with Bryan Staring enters its 4th year and we have a built a solid working relationship and I am excited to see what we can achieve.

“2021 excites me for several reasons, mostly due to the anticipation of the new Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR. This season marks 10 years since my association with Kawasaki first began. At the time I was racing with Kawasaki Europe in the World Superstock Championship. Only 2 of the last 10 seasons has seen me ride with different brands. I’d like to thank Kawasaki Motors Australia for their ongoing support and partnership as well as the Kawasaki BCperformance Racing Team. I’m looking forward to the season, whatever it may look like”.
