AP Kawasaki will field a three-man squad in the Metzeler National Superstock Championships this season with Josh Wainright joining Freddie Russo and Pat Medcalf in the team.
Russo and Aussie Medcalf will campaign the ZX-10R in the 1000cc class while Wainwright will be in the 600s. Brentford's Russo makes the step up to the big class class after securing eighth in the Superstock 600 Championship last year with a victory at Cadwell Park being the highlight.
Joining him will be 23-year-old Australian sensation Medcalf from New South Wales who has two Australian Superstock titles under his belt. Wainwright rejoins the team he has enjoyed success with in the past aboard the established ZX-6R which proved so competitive in last year's series.
"We are really excited about the forthcoming season and feel we have a very strong line up in both classes. We are delighted to welcome Josh back into the 600cc team and are sure that both Freddie and Patrick will give a very good account of themselves in the 1000cc class. We are proud to introduce a number of new sponsors to the team, including Dickies Workwear, Be-Wiser Insurance and Britool Expert so hopefully we'll have lots to celebrate this season," said team manager Alan Greig.
