British rider Martin Jessop joins WSS with PTR Honda
Martin will get his first outing on his PTR Honda early in the New Year at a private test in Europe before a further test at Philip Island in Australia ahead of the opening round of the 2012 Championship at the same circuit on 26th February
The rider from Yeovil, Somerset, in the south west of England, who also had a wild card entry at Magny-Cours this year on a Honda Supersport, said, "I am over the moon to have 2012 all sorted. I said at the end of the 2011 season my objective was to get into the World Championship and Supersport was my best opportunity. I sat down with my team and Riders and we wanted a squad at the sharp end of the Championship so I would know I had a good bike and proven package. The British based PTR team was my number one choice and to get a ride with them was brilliant - it's not often that a racer gets his first choice so I can honestly say I could not be happier."
