Motorcycle racer Matthew Ford Dunn is gearing up for the first round of the MRO 125cc Championship at Donnington racetrack in just over two weeks.
Independent removal company Bishop's Move has sponsored 27-year-old Mat for the past four seasons.
Gearing up: Matthew Ford Dunn
Alistair Bingle, Bishop's Move director and team boss said: "We are delighted to support him again this year. Everyone here has been impressed with his performance. We look forward to greater success this season."
The sponsorship has helped Mat, who is Oxford area and overseas manager for the firm, prepare. He has bought a new 125cc engine and ignition system and completely re-tuned the bike. This month he has been testing it at a track near Nmes, in the South of France, in preparation for his first outing at Donnington on Sunday, March 11.
Mat finished in 14th place in the championship in 1998, seventh in 1999 and last year came 22nd, due to mechanical problems.
He said: "Last year, I converted the bike to unleaded petrol, which resulted in a loss of power. However, this year I'm aiming to win, or at least finish in the top five."
