Established Australian international Mark Aitchison will ride the 2014 PETRONAS FIM Asian Road Racing Championship, signing for the Akeno Racing Yamaha team.

The 28-year-old, who has spent time in World Superbike and Supersport during recent seasons, will partner long-time series regular Makoto Inagaki in the Japanese squad.

Aitchison is another strong addition to the popular ARRC series, which has been contested by notable Japanese racers Katsuaki Fujiwara, Makoto Tamada and Ryuichi Kiyonari between international stints.

The 2014 ARRC series will commence next weekend at Sepang in Malaysia on 18-20 April.
