IDM SBK: Paul Fröde named on Honda in the premier class

"It's time to get started. Actually, I'd like to start right now," says Paul Fröde. The 2020 IDM Superstock champion and 2021 runner-up has now registered for the IDM Superbike. His promotion brings a second Honda rider into the premier class.

The 19-year-old from Hohenstein-Ernstthal will not be taking part in the IDM spring test in Valencia in a week and a half. The Fireblades supplied by Honda Germany are still in the preparation phase – from adjusting the electronics to adding sponsor stickers and finding a suitable team name. "We're in the starting blocks, but we still have to get the project up and running."

Paul Fröde was the only Honda rider in the IDM Superstock 600 classification for the past three years and always finished in the top three in the overall standings.
