Northern Ireland's Josh Elliott will partner Australia's David Johnson in the Carbontek Four Anjels BMW National Superstock team for 2012 after signing a deal over the weekend to secure his 2012 season.
The 17-year-old will go up against the like of Steve Brogan, Danny Bucan and Howie-Mainwaring-Smart in the series just weeks after it looked like he could be on the sidelines when his deal with Bournemouth Primo Kawasaki was called to a halt under difficult circumstances.
“I had heard a lot of good things about the Carbontek Four Anjels team from some close associates in England and was delighted to finally get to meet them. Their expectations and goals are very realistic and in line with my own, so I am delighted to get the opportunity to ride for such a good team," said Elliott.
“I am grateful that despite time being short, Carbontek have pulled out the stops to get a BMW S1000RR ready for a test in Spain this weekend. Thanks also to my good friends Gerry and Susie Bryce for squeezing me into their Racedays event at Almeria this week.
"It has been an especially long winter for me and I just can’t wait to get to ride the Carbontek BMW and learn all about it. I want to make the best of the testing time to properly change my style to suit the thousand and make small steps toward becoming competitive in a very tough class.”
