FFX Yamaha will also line up in the Pirelli National Superstock 600 Championship with Northern Irish rider Andy Reid who progresses to the class after ending the 2013 season in the Motostar Championship, claiming three race victories from just six races.

He will partner Ian Hutchinson in the SMR-backed satellite squad as the Bingley man makes his full debut in the MCE British Superbike Championship.

“I am looking forward to being part of this new team and making the next step in my career. I intend on having fun with the FFX Yamaha team and this is a great opportunity for me to learn and I am confident that it will really help me to develop as a rider. Every time you get on a bike you learn something new and progress and I can’t wait to get going,” said Reid.
