Part of the team that won the Dunlop-equipped Superstock category in the Bol d’Or last September, Dutchman Tessels will ride for the French team in 2023 and 2024 after securing a contract extension.

“It is quite unusual in motorsport to extend for two years, which shows how good our partnership is,” said Tessels, 28. “After our victory in the Bol d’Or, there were no reasons to make any changes in terms of riders. As a team we have an excellent basis, which will only get better through various developments. I am therefore very much aiming for great successes in the 2023 Endurance World Championship.”

Frenchman Jonathan Hardt and Chris Leesch, from Luxembourg, complete the ChromeBurner RAC41 Honda line-up.

Tessels, meanwhile, will head to Le Mans a winner following his recent success in the International Dutch Superbike Championship at Assen last weekend.
