Britain's World Supersport up-and-comer Graeme Gowland will join the Phase One Yamaha team for this weekend's Oschersleben Eight-Hour endurance race.
The likeable Berry Racing rider, who had a poor weekend at Brands Hatch, will line-up alongside another new ride Sebastian Scarnato and team regular Damian Cudlin.
"It's great to be able to introduce Graeme to the team at this stage," said team manager Russell Benney. "We have been speaking since the winter and various circumstances have delayed this first ride. It's a pleasure to secure his services as third man for Oschersleben. He has come a long way in a short time and he was stunning at Valencia earlier in the year. I believe that he will maximise this opportunity.
 
"As far as Sebastian goes, well who could wish for a better partner for Damian? It is a one-off ride, on holiday from his MV team and he knows Oschersleben like the back of his hand. Perfect. We know Sebastian well, he is hard and fast and he can do the job. Over the years we have had many battles, I respect him alot."
Cudlin added: "Sebastian is the rider I wanted most and now we have got him. This is a team capable of building on our Suzuka result and one which could win at Oschersleben."
