2018 Sponsored Racers Part 2
Hello and welcome to Alex's Blog. This is part two of two on riders we are sponsoring this year and the race calendars for you to follow these riders. You can see part one here.
We sponsor three riders in the Pirelli National Superstock 1000 Championship.
Firstly Andy Reid races for Factory Aprilia RSV 1000 EHA Racing. A former British Supersport front-runner, Reid is racing in the 1000cc Superstock class for the first time, but he has ridden half a dozen races in the British Superbike Championship last season on factory machinery. Andy wears a BKS Made to measure Apex leather one piece suit.
Joe Colllier also races for Factory Aprilia RSV 1000 EHA Racing. Joe is acually the reigning Ducati Cup champion, and debuted in the 1000cc Superstock class at Oulton Park and Brands Hatch last season on alternative machinery. Joe also wears a BKS Made to measure Apex suit.
Billy McConnell aka "Skippy" is the last of our Superstock 1000 racers and rides a Suzuki GSX R 1000. Billy is Australian (hence the nickname) and started out in the R6 Cup before cutting his racing teeth in the British Supersport Championship before the British Superbike Championship and now the Superstock 1000. Billy wears a Frank Thomas D Air Suit.
