I am also pleased to welcome Ashley Beech on board for the 2012 season. Ashley has proven himself to be a young rider with a great future in the sport and his addition to the team is very much in keeping with Blackhorse Kawasaki's ethos of supporting and developing talented young riders and enabling them to progress in their racing careers.

"Ashley will have the full support of everyone within the team and I know he will also benefit enormously from having Victor as a team-mate.
