SMT Honda Sign Christian Iddon For 2010
Source: British Superbike News - Wednesday, 31st March 2010, 14:19 GMTJason O'Halloran - SMT Honda 2009 The SMT Honda team, to be known as Sorrymate.com/SMT Honda for 2010, have signed the nine-times British Supermoto champion Christian Iddon to head their campaign for the coming season. The team suffered a dismal 2009 season after suffering problems amid the economic crisis towards the second half of the year. They began the opening rounds with the Australian rider Jason O’Halloran, and returned at the Mallory Park round with Michael Rutter aboard. Later with the backing of Sorrymate.com, they managed to complete the final two rounds with Karl Harris riding and have now agreed to back the team for the year ahead. Robin Croft said; “With regard to rider choice, we had spoke at length to a number of senior riders in the series but each of those had their own problems. Christian had ridden with us a few times before and considering his lack of experience he surpassed all expectations. With that in mind and with the blessing of Sorrymate.com we decided to take that route Certainly at the beginning of the season we know things might be difficult as Christian learns to ride a Superbike but later on in the season we really believe we can be in a great position to take some good results. With Christian on the bike we also get to develop younger, fresh talent which is something as a team we have always tried to do.” Read article
