Market Rasen twin racers set for new challenges at Siverstone
Easter weekend action sees the Market Rasen twins battling it out in different teams, as Tom is racing for the Louth-based Honda Racing team while Tim has signed for Morello Racing.
Both riders have completed a round of pre-season testing culminating with the official British Superbike test at Silverstone last Tuesday where, despite the cold and damp conditions, Tom was seventh fastest overall with Tim in 17th position.
