Hydrex Honda's Guy Martin will be racing under Rob McElnea's colours in 2009 after signing for the Yamaha squad.It is not known yet who Martin will partner is 2009 but the smart money says he will team up with Karl Harris.
In typical style, Martin said: "When it comes to preparation there is no better Yamaha team to be with than Rob’s. They’ve been building trick bikes since the beginning of time, so I’m 100 per cent sure this is my key to success at TT.
"Also, there will be no better bloke to get me sorted for success on the short circuits. Rob’s been their done it and all that. But there is still the rest of 2008 to go at, two BSB rounds and Macau. Macau was looking good last year until I had a to do with a wall, so hopefully we’ll be on the case this year.
"There is a new R1 coming out and it’s got a pink frame, so with pink being the new black and me getting some proper trick pink pedals on my downhill bike there was no choice, I had to be on a Yam."
