“There is no doubt that CDR Rockstar Yamaha is the best team in the country and I’m excited to continue our relationship for another year,” said Marmont. “The team are total professionals and no stone is left unturned to get the best results possible. They work hard and are prepared to do whatever it takes and that’s the team I want to be in.”

“The team really picked up some momentum in the later half of 2009 and we are going to build on that for 2010. We have the riders, bikes and mechanics to get the job done in the Pro Lite division and I don’t expect anything less than championship success from the caliber of rider we have on board for 2010,” Eales states confidently.

Michael Marty and Adam Jack will make up the technicians on the Serco team for 2010.

The Yamalube/GYTR/Rockstar Yamaha team that continues to pump out future champions is back and ready emulate their 2009 success in both the Under 19s and Pro Lites categories.

All four riders will contest the SuperX Championship and look set to be a real force in the high profile series.

“It’s really easy to go to the races with a bunch of hard working and dedicated riders,” explained head technician Darren Thompson. “All these guys put in 100 percent on the track and that reflects in their results. We have a tough ask to improve on our 2009 season, but everyone is working hard to ensure we step it up.”

The team will once again be managed by renowned ex-pro Scott Bishop, joined by technicians Thompsonn and Cory Hillsley.
