Former Motorpoint British Supersport runner-up Jack Kennedy will remain with Honda but switch from Rivamoto to the PTR squad for a tilt at the 2014 World Supersport Championship.

The Irishman made his debut in the championship this year and, after a disappointing 16th place finish, ended the season in seventh place with two top-six finishes at Donington Park and Portimao.

"I am really excited for next year to be joining a proven team that has done well in the past - I am looking forward to working with Simon Buckmaster and PTR. I have got my learning year out of the way and now I know all the tracks," said Kennedy.

"I want to be a regular podium finisher and there is no reason we cannot go for the Championship. I've ridden a Honda all this year, so staying with the same manufacturer is good. I am confident the PTR bike will be better, so hopefully it will make my job as a rider a bit easier."
