Kyle Wilks and Ben Godfrey will contest the Pirelli National Superstock 1000 and 600cc classes respectively after signing for the increasing Tsingtao Racing squad in 2014.

Wilks joins the Tsingtao Racing team after making his Superstock 1000 debut in 2013 with the Bournemouth Kawasaki squad. Having spent the year getting to grips with the machine, he now feels he is a good position to become a regular frontrunner when the new season begins next April. He will partner Danny Buchan.

“I’m really looking forward to 2014, Tsingtao Racing Kawasaki have put together a really good package. I’m excited about getting back on the Kawasaki and I believe we will be in a position to be competitive from the start," he said.

“My aims for the season are to get some strong podium finishes over the year and hopefully finish the season in a good position high up in the championship. I think as a team Danny and I will be very strong and I believe we have the full package here which will allow us to move forward very quickly."

Godfrey added: “My aim for 2014 is to win the championship, and I firmly believe that with the Tsingtao Racing Kawasaki team this will be possible. I’m really, really happy to be joining them; the team line-up is very strong for next year and I can’t thank them enough for giving me this opportunity.

“The title is what I’m going for, I’m hoping that after the big steps forward we made in the final few rounds of 2013 that we’ll be in the perfect position to go out and fight at the front straight away."
