British Superbike Cup regular Tom Tunstall will return to the championship in 2009 with his Hardinge Motorsport Honda team and is planning some pre-season testing in Spain.
The squad have sourced some updated Honda CBR1000Rs from the World Superbike paddock and are welcoming an increased sponsorship package from insurance firm Doodson.
“I’m very happy with our preparations for 2009. The new bike looks great and although I haven’t ridden it yet everyone I’ve spoken to says it’s a big improvement over the old model. I can’t wait to get down to Spain and start testing," said Tunstall.
