Queensland rising talent Mike Jones will partner Ben Henry at the Australian Outdoor Living/Cube Racing Kawasaki team in 2015 on board a pair of privately-entered ZX-10Rs.

Jones, 20, and experienced team owner/rider Henry will contest the Australasian Superbike Championship (ASC), as well as the World Superbike and MotoGP domestic support categories with increased support from Link International.

The team is yet to commit to additional Australian Superbike Championship (ASBK) events following the season-opening round alongside WSBK at Phillip Island in February.

“We will run two Superbikes and I’m aiming for a pair of 300s,” Henry told CycleOnline. “I’m going to have Mike Jones as the number one Superbike, which I’m really looking forward to, and I’m going to ride the other one. Mike’s going fast and he is a good young kid, so it’s really positive as far as results and sponsorship goes.”

Jones raced to ninth overall in his first season of Superbike racing last year in the ASC, including his first race win at the Sydney Motorsport Park finale, while Henry was 14th in the final standings.
