Ten Kate Honda confirms Ruben Xaus

Just the other day we reported the rumor that Ruben Xaus was on the verge of signing a deal with Ten Kate Honda and we can now confirm that the Spaniard will officially be with the Dutch team next season.
Xaus despite being popularly considered as single-handedly keep the fairing industries in business, is one of the most experienced riders in the World Superbike scene and has won eleven races and been on the podium 35 times and in 2009 and 2010 raced for the BMW’s official Superbike team.

“It’s difficult for me describe how happy I am that I will ride with the Ten Kate Honda team next season.
For many years I have admired the passion and dedication that they bring to World Superbikes and I believe that they capture the essence of the championship,” said Xaus.
“They run a successful Honda dealership in Holland and with the support of Honda Europe they manage a team that has some of the most skilled tuners and engineers.
They have shown with all their world titles that they have the right blend of skill and desire.

I know that I am capable of more SBK wins and I will bring all my racing experience, gained on many different types of machine, to help achieve more success with the Ten Kate Honda team.
I would like to thank Gerrit, Ronald and all the guys Honda for the faith that they have shown in me and in my potential.
I still have a lot of things I want to do in World Superbikes and I believe this team will allow me to achieve what we all aim for.
It will begin with my first test with my new team at the end of this month and I cannot wait to start work.
