New British X-Country champion, Carl Bunce, will team up with his season-long rival later this month to try and win the prestigious Pont du Vaux endurance race in France.
Bunce, who clinched his first enduro title earlier this month will be joined by Chris Cooper, who is second in the series, and Ricky Tordoff.
All three are Suzuki-mounted this season and will come together under the Rocketman Suzuki banner in France.
The Rocketman squad will also field a second team of Ant Barrett, Chris Murphy and Geoff Sharp, thanks to backing from The Brake House, Barretts of Aspley, ATV's Only, Walsh Racecraft, Dirt Warz Graphix, Nora-MX and Tim Wedgwood.
The Rocketman team took fifth place last year and was the highest placed British squad.
"I think we've got a good chance of going better than last year.” said team manager, Jason Smith. "Carl and Ricky are both fast, and Chris has great stamina and will do really well over the long stints. It's a well balanced team."
