Centurion Racing are keen to announce that at round eight of the Maxxis British Supersport Championship at Oulton Park, Cheshire, riders Dan Cooper and James Westmoreland will be riding 07 Honda’s as opposed to the 06 bikes which they have ridden up to this point in the season. The two riders will undertake a testing session before the next round next weekend, 13th 15th July and the pairing also enjoyed a day at Croft on one of the machines to get a feel for the bike. Despite the wet conditions both riders achieved a number of successful laps on it and found a good set up. General Manager Paul Rees commented “After some minor problems with wiring in the last couple of rounds on Westy’s bike, being able to use and run the new bikes will be like a ‘breath of fresh air’ for everyone concerned. We are not looking for immediate results with the new bikes but a gradual improvement for the remaining part of the season. Our riders are very mature and very professional on and off the track and really welcome the opportunity to ride the 07 Honda’s.” Harvey Beltram and Neil Tuxworth from Honda have been in close liaison with Centurion regarding these new bikes offering invaluable advice and sorting out spares. “The back up, experience and advice from Harvey and Neil is very much appreciated” added Race Manager, Gary Stubbington. It is planned that Centurion Racing will take delivery of another two 07 Honda’s before the close of the 2006 season, which will allow each rider to have a spare bike if they so require one.
