"We came so close to defending our title that it makes us even more determined to win it back this season and I know I've got the most competitive package to do that. We had a successful test in Spain earlier this week so I'm feeling confident already."

"My first run out on the bike in Spain was very positive and I was on the pace so can't wait for another outing in preparation for the season ahead."

PBM team owner Paul Bird, who also runs a team in MotoGP, concluded: "As for BSB, it really hurt us losing our crown to Honda of all people so Shakey's back to try and reclaim it and Stuart will be a major contender too."
