The brothers, who raced Thundersport GB last season, will open their Superstock campaign on Sunday as in a support race to the British Superbike championship at Silverstone.

The 19-year-olds rode in selected Superstock 600 events last year, but this will be their first full season in the class and they made their final preparations at the official British Superbike test day last Thursday.

Tom said: “We feel the time is right for both of us to make the move up to the Stock 600 class. It’s high-profile and the field is full of very talented riders.
