For 2009 I have just done a deal to ride the new 09 Yamaha R1 with Co-Ordit racing in the national superstock championship. A championship which I competed the final two rounds on a R1 with Co-Ordit racing with some very good results so now with a new season just around the corner I am looking forward to starting the season strong. After riding for Co-Ordit racing for the second half of 2008 I am very confidant that with me, the team and the Yamaha we have a very good chance of running right at the front of the championship all year long. Also I will be riding the Co-Ordit 2008 superbike at selected events e.g. stars at Darley to regain my win this year, Mallory Park race of the year and also the British superbike cup at Mallory Park due to the national superstock championship not taking part in that round.
Testing will start early part of 2009 so a strong winter of training should see me in good shape for the new season so bring it on.

Richard would like to thank Teknic leathers, Shoei helmets and Daytona boots for their support for the 2009 season.
