Farmer will be competing with Kawasaki, added: "I am really excited to be part of this; Dave at Plat🌱form Hire took over the Morello team and threw me a lifeline when it was looking like I might not even race this season, so this is absolutely mega as Morello Racing was who I had originally signed with for 2021.
"To have a full attack in Superstock is going to be brilliant on the all-new Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR, so I am looking f🌞orward to enjoying riding again!
"These past two years have been tough, but💎 in Superstock, I seem to have a good pedigree wi🐻th two titles previously.
"The last time I raced a Kawa🅠saki in Superstock I won the title in 2012 with Birdy so hopefully I can do the same again with a new team."
