Wimmer and Jones sign for Racedays Honda in STK600

Australian Mike Jones will join Austria's Lukas Wimmer in the Racedays Honda squad for their assault on the 2013 UEM European Superstock 600 championship. 17-year-old Wimmer (photo) claimed the 2012 European Junior Cup championship in a dramatic showdown at the Magny-Cours World Superbike round in October, while 18-year-old Jones is the 2011 Australian Superstock 600 and 2012 FX 600 National Champion and has already shown his speed in two wild card European Superstock 600 rides this season.


Gerry Bryce, Team Manager Racedays Honda, declared: "We're very pleased to announce this team line up and also our new association in Superstock 600 with Honda Racing and RT Racing Support. Mike showed great pace on his Nurburgring wild card debut and I have followed his racing closely since then. It will be a tough challenge to learn the new circuits, but we believe he will have the speed to challenge for race wins straight away. Lukas Wimmer showed a real racing talent in this year's European Junior Cup, and I'm sure he will quickly adapt to the Superstock 600 class. Both riders are looking forward to trying out the new 2013 Honda CBR 600 RR when testing starts in February."
