Stalbridge racer Brad Jones, 22, has secured a new deal with PR Racing BMW to race in the British Superbike Championship for 2021.

After competing in British Supersport onboard a 600cc machine for four years, Brad has been given the opportunity he has been working towards for many seasons and made the step up to the premier class. PR Racing BMW based in Liverpool has 26 years of racing experience.

“The ethos of the team is to go racing for the passion, showcase the experience and develop young talent,” said Brad. “Having the team around me for a debut season in Superbike will be great. I look forward to working with them to develop into a competitive Superbike rider. For years I have been working hard to make my way up to the Superbike class. Now I have I got here I want to make the most of it.”

There is a steep learning curve ahead for the young superbike rider, as he now has to tame 225bhp compared to the 140bhp he has been used too. The 2021 British Superbike calendar consists of 11 rounds across the country, with each round made up of three races per weekend, totaling 33 races.

“For the first season I have don’t have any expectations,” said Brad. “I am well aware and understand there is a lot of learning and adapting to do – the style of riding is different and that’s something that will take time to get the hang of.”

“Fortunately, I’m working with a crew I’ve worked with before and we benefit from the team’s wealth of experience.”

“It wouldn’t be possible without sponsors so I thank them and look forward to sharing the experience with them”.
