Keene, ON — With the 2015 Mopar Canadian Superbike Championship approaching, Jodi is pleased to introduce the sponsors of the Honda Canada/Accelerated Technologies team. In 2015, Jodi will be defending his 2014 Canadian Superbike Championship and No. 1 plate, in addition to competing in the Pro Sport Bike class and attempting to add a fourth championship to his tally in that class. Honda Canada has already been announced as a title sponsor of the team with significant support, and as has been the case for the past several years, the CBR1000RR SP and CBR600RR equipment is being prepared by John Sharrard at Accelerated Technologies. 

Jodi Christie: "I am ecstatic about the upcoming season! With many new sponsors jumping on board amongst the loyal sponsors we have had for years, I know we have all the support we need to do well this season. The commitment shown by our sponsors has filled me with pride and confidence in my team and machinery. I am determined to showcase my skills on these beautiful bikes and I am eagerly counting down the days until the first event!"

John Sharrard - Crew Chief, Accelerated Technologies: "To all our new and returning sponsors and supporters, thank you for taking part in our mission to both showcase and retain our coveted Pro National Superbike No. 1 plate and to help us with our other goal, to get our Pro 600 National No. 1 plate back!  Honda has really stepped up their support of the team in 2015, and it is allowing us to put a massive investment into our engine program. The bikes are coming together now, with parts suppliers scrambling to keep up with our requests, especially for the ultra-trick new SP model. If anyone wants to follow the builds a little closer, we will have updates on our Accelerated Technologies Facebook page as we go."
