Keith Thorpe, Michael Palmby, Pete Collingwood, Shawn Perrett and Shawn Rolfe will be spinning the spanners under the guidance of team manager Mick Aldous in their Mildenhall-based workshops.As well as running tip-top bikes, the RTT Honda team will be looking good too. They'll be kitted out in Thor clothing, Smith goggles, Alpinestars boots and Animal-designed Premier helmets - with the exception of a fully Foxed-up Nunny.With all the logistics in place the riders are preparing for this season's racing - starting with the full squad heading out to Corona for four weeks of testing and training under California's blue skies.
