Moores Racing are delighted to announce that Sweatshop UK, specialist running and sports clothing and equipment retailers, are joining the team as a major sponsor for 2008. Sweatshop UK was founded in 1971 by Chris Brasher, Olympic gold medallist and co-creator of the London Marathon.

Sweatshop UK has 26 nationawide shops in some of the country's leading health clubs, gyms and tennis clubs where looking good is part of the enjoyment of working out and is busy expanding into other areas of the country.

Apart from specialist retailing they are heavily involved with organising major running events throughout the UK.

Tony Jimenez said "It's an honour and a pleasure to be involved with such a prestigious company with real history. A major high street name - when somebody this big wants to get involved with a team like us it shows we must be doing something right".

Moores will be returning to defend their 2007 HMRC Supersport 600 title with a Yamaha R6 ridden by the core trio of Jim Agombar, Mike Eglington and Tony Jimenez.

The team will also be running a Yamaha R1 with Hugh Brasher, formally of Harvey Mushman Racing, who is currently in talks with other riders before firming up final plans for the 2008 season.

Details and dates of the upcoming season will follow.
