Kevin Coyne will make his debut in the Pirelli National Superstock Championship this season, stepping up from the Hel Performance British Junior Supersport series in 2021.

Coyne had an initial test last October on Junior Superstock machinery at Mondello Park and is now looking ahead to getting pre-season testing underway ahead of the opening round of the Championship in May.

"I cannot wait to get going now, our pre-season plans had to be changed because of the restrictions, so I will have to wait a little longer to really feel the power of the new bike, compared to what I raced in Junior Supersport last year, but I am excited," said Coyne.

"I'm just counting down the days until we get testing underway; we have put together a strong bike and with some really great partners helping me, I am looking forward to the new challenge.”
