Glen Richards will ride for the HM Plant Honda British Superbike team next season.
Richards is stepping up from the Supersport championship which he won with Embassy Triumph this season, whilst Glen’s new team mate Josh Brookes, comes in from the Stiggy Honda World Supersport outfit.
“I’m looking forward to the opportunity and want to give it 110%. I’m well up for this challenge and I intend to give it my all! I’ve won two championships in a row with Superstock and now Supersport, so to make it three-in-a-row is the aim and to add a Superbike title would be awesome,” said Richards
“I’ve never had a ‘factory’ ride as such in the BSB series, so I do feel I have unfinished business in the championship and something to prove. Modern Superbikes are smaller now, much like the 600-class machines I’ve been riding. I’ve also been used to big power before, I know the tracks and I’m used to the control tyre, so I’m looking forward to 2009!”
