British Superbike star Scott Smart is due to reveal his plans for the 2009 season at the MCN show at London's Excel on Thursday morning but is keeping tight-lipped about the details.

Smart, who parted company with the Hawk Kawasaki team at the end of 2008, has spent a decent size portion of the winter training and relaxing in Dubai and Australia, but is in rare mood for the season.

"It's going to be a surprise on Thursday, and it isn't what anyone is going to be expecting, but I am so clear with what I am doing, it's perfect," said the 34-year-old Maidstone man.

"We have got a great plan with the bike, I've got a good team around me and we are going to do some winning," he added.

Smart is very much keeping things under his hat but then again, there is a lot of room...
