Reigning British 125cc Champion Kyle Ryde will be back to defend his title in 2012 after an appeal published by bikesportnews.com resulted in a brace of new sponsors coming forward.
The youngster will now be able to take delivery of spares for his Honda four-stroke Moto3 machine until late on so it will not be available until after the second British Superbike round. In the meantime Ryde has secured the use of Neil Durham's Moto Strada Aprilia RSW 125.
"After the bikesportnews.com story, we have been approached by a couple of new sponsors that have made it possible for Kyle carry on with his plans to race the new machine that should hopefully be here by the beginning of March," said Sean Ryde.
"Details of these new sponsors will be revealed next week as we just need to finalize a few things first. We are really grateful for their help and are looking forward to receiving the new bike and start testing."
