Josh Owens and Rory Skinner have been revealed as the 2014 Bennetts bikesportnews.com Search for a Star winners.

The pair, who will be mentored by former World Superbike Champion Neil Hodgson, stood in front of assembled media at a Silverstone bunfight today but weren’t remotely phased by the experienced.

Owens (14) will race with the RCD Motorsport team in the Motul British Motostar series while Skinner (12) is doing his first full year of Aprilia Superteens with Thundersport and has already won three of his first four races.

“I’m really pleased to have been given this opportunity and hopefully it will be the start of something big. I am going to do a season with Mark Hodgson in Motostar on the 125 and then we will take it from there,” said Owens, who last year raced a bike that was older than him.

Skinner added: “My plan is to win the Superteen Championship this year and then who knows? I will still do a couple of rounds in Scotland but that’s the focus for me.”
