Centenary Supersport T.T. winner Ian Hutchinson has joined AIM Yamaha Racing for the 2008 season.
With HM Plant Honda not coming to next year's T.T., riders Hutchinson and John McGuinness were left in the cold.
The 28 year old from Bingley in Yorkshire will compete at all three international road race meetings - the T.T., North West 200 and the Ulster Grand Prix.
Hutchinson will also enter the British Supersport Championship.
There is still no word on who 13 time T.T. winner John McGuinness will ride for in 2008.
