The contract secures the two-time 250 champion with the team through to 2020 and confirms that he will “be aboard the FC 450 in the near future.”

In his statement on the deal, Osborne has expressed his delight and excitement at a 450 ride: “I’m very excited for the opportunity to continue this relationship… We’ve had good successes and I hope to continue that through 2020, in the 450 class, and beyond.”

Team Manager Bobby Hewitt echoed Osborne’s words: “we couldn’t be happier to have him with us for even longer.”
