2 riders are set for the World Supersport Team: Aussie Andrew Pitt is joined by the Brit Jonathan Rea.
Ronald Ten Kate, team manager:
“After such a successful 2007 season, we wanted to build a team that brings the same kind of success for 2008 and beyond. This is why we have chosen to go with some very young riders in both the Superbike and Supersport class. We are confident that we can do well in developing these riders.”
