“Clearly, we’re nonetheless sponsoring Craig Neve, we’ll nonetheless be there, and I’ll nonetheless be there doing one thing,
“I don’t know what but. I’ve been interested by completely different stuff over the previous few weeks, clearly with the time scales of every part and to do the North West [200] and the Isle of Man [TT].
“However we’ll positively be there, larger than ever.
Rutter added: “I’ll positively be driving, [but] I don’t know what but.”
On the deal between the Bathams group and Storm Stacey to race BSB in 2025, Rutter mentioned: “All of it got here collectively fairly shortly, really. We have been speaking on the finish of the yr at Manufacturers Hatch, I spoke to Storm [Stacey], and he was all in favour of driving. So, we put one thing collectively for him.
“It’s going to be our first yr in Superbikes, with the Bathams group, and clearly with AJN sponsoring us as properly, it’s allowed us to do it.”
