Beverley youngster Palin is widely regarded as one of Britain’s hot prospects and gets his big break under the new ‘Rising Star’ scheme.

“It’s thanks to the scheme that I get this opportunity and I’m really excited about it,” Palin said.

“I’m sure I’ll also be a bit nervous, but I’m going into the season looking to learn and benefit from the experience.

“We’ve got a lot of experience in the team and all the riders will be there to offer me help and encouragement. I’m really looking forward to it.”.
