Steve Plater ready for fresh challenge in Superstock

Steve Plater will be gunning for the British Superstock title after it was announced he will line up for HM Plant Honda again in 2010.

The racer, from Woodhall Spa, will also look to defend his Isle of Man Senior TT title and North West 200 crown as he joins a formidable line-up for the Louth-based outfit, which will include Ryuichi Kiyonari and Josh Brookes who will battle it out in the British Superbike class.

Plater, who last year romped to victory in the British Superport class, was delighted to link up with the team again.

"It's been very good this year," said Plater.

"It's been a lot of hard work and it's been really busy for the team. But they are good at the job they do and long may it last.

"I was happy to join Honda again. I felt that it was pointless to break up a good relationship. They are the best team."
