“It’s good to be back on a Yamaha again,” said Zak.

“Massive thanks to David (Binch) and his team. I can’t tell you all how excited I am to get racing again with the Binch crew.

“It’s a team I have 100 per cent belief in and I know they will do everything they can for me.

Oliver joins the team for his first full year in the Bennetts British Superbike Championship paddock but has enjoyed some tremendous success at club level and scored two superb race wins in Junior Superstock at Knockhill last year.

He came to meet the team at a few rounds last year and all got on really well for almost a natural fit.

“I would just like to get it across that I am super grateful to be given the opportunity to be a part of the Binch Racing family,” he said.

“After a very productive winter, I'm feeling ready to get stuck into my rookie season.

“Racing alongside Zak will be great, I am looking forward to getting to know him and what we can learn along the way. It is going to be a lot of fun.”

“From club level to watching him compete against us and win at Knockhill last year told me all I needed to know, I wanted to work with Ollie.

“We are under no illusion, Oliver and the team are going to have to work hard and it will be tough in such a competitive class, but, we are not afraid of hard work and neither is Ollie.”​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
