Coming back fighting for this years championship David Craine commented, " TTXGP was a fantastic race to be involved with last year, we are really excited of staying part of the journey; we are exciting to be taking part in the first British Zero Carbon Championship. We learnt a lot last year and are confident of putting on a great performance this season and going all the way to the Albacete TTXGP FINAL"

The team has already been testing with their rider for 2010, TT ace James McBride. Both James and the team are very happy with the performance of the bike.

Get up to speed then concentrate on keeping the momentum."
