"Cory is a fast-rising rider and I was delighted with his efforts last season when he came into the team," boss Alun Rossiter told the club website.

"I expect him to come on leaps and bounds this year."

Meanwhile, new Robins signing Travis McGowan injured his shoulder in a crash in the B final of the Australian Championship on Wednesday.

Scans have revealed McGowan hasn't broken anything, but he is due to see a specialist on Friday to learn the extent of the problem.
