Scot Adam who rode the Ducati 1098s - 'BigBike' at the last meeting of the year at Rockingham in 2009 will be taking up the cudgels on her, this time for the full season. The Supertwin class will be running with the GP1 class & the twins are now able to double score (if they are quick enough) if they are placed in the top 15 of the GP1 class. Alan has put a lot of work into Big-Bike over the winter, essentially doing a complete rebuild from the engine upwards topped by fresh paint job done by Steve Joy at Apache-customs. Scot is champing at the bit to get the season underway.
Alex Heaton joins the team to ride 'Tango', our Ducati Monster 800ie in the GP2 class (was known previously as Junior Powerbikes). Alex aged 18, is already known at Thundersport having enjoyed a good season in 2008 giving our bike a very hard run for his money on several occasions that year coming 4th overall. However, in 2009 he was dogged by mechanical failure (and subsequent finances) during much of the season, meaning that he didnt attend a number of the meetings tho he still managed to claw an overall 5th in the championship. Tango has undergone a refresh for the coming season.
The Team and riders are still looking for some sponsorship for this season for development, so if you, your company, or anyone you know who might be interested, please do get in contact with us.
