GBmoto Racing have announced that Alex Cudlin will be joining the team to compete in the Metzeler British National Superstock 1000 Championship.

After a successful testing schedule at both Cadwell Park and Brands Hatch last week, Cudlin has agreed to ride for GBmoto Racing, beginning at Brands Hatch GP over the weekend of 5-7 August.

Cudlin already has a winning history with GBmoto, having previously ridden for them in the UK National Endurance series.

“I’m really happy to be joining the GBMoto Racing team again,” Cudlin said. “I worked with a lot of the crew back in 2007, so I feel like I am returning to familiar ground. I am also looking forward to racing in the UK and the Superstock Championship, which I haven’t done at this level before.

“I know it’s not going to be easy, and I’ll be up against some tough riders, but I hope to score some good results for myself and the GBmoto Racing team.

“My main priority is to learn the GP track as quickly as possible and establish a natural feeling on the bike then go from there. I’m excited about the opportunity.”

Cudlin is the current 2010 World Endurance Cup Champion and also won the 2011 Qatar International Road Racing Championship.

Last year, the Australian also made his first Moto2 World Championship appearance at Phillip Island.
