For 2010, I'm very pleased to announce a brand new title sponsor.
Photographer Rick Wilks, who some of you will know as G Force images will be the main sponsor for next season. The name of the business will change for next year, and there will also be an announcement about this in due course as well.
Ultimate Finish Powdercoating are stepping down due to the ill health of co-owner, Andy Green. I'd very much like to thank them for the 6 great years they've supported me, and wish Andy (and everyone who has supported me) all the best for the future.
Rick is also going to be sponsoring Tom parkes, who I'm sure you'll all agree is a young rider that has shown great promise and an awful lot of improvement over this season.
Rick is also keen to extend a bit more help to other deserving riders throughout the season, which is incredibly generous I'm sure you'll agree. This won't depend on you finishing on the podium, or setting the world alight, but rest assured he'll be keeping an eye out.
In short, Rick is just the sort of guy the series needs and he'll also be attending every round taking photos of the DD crowd. If anyone is interested in having images of themselves over the season, please PM me and I'll fill you in on a sponsorship deal he'll be doing throughout the year.
So then, all I have to do now is try and win it!...no pressure then!
