Tyco BMW’s Christian Iddon will remain with the Moneymore MCE British Superbike team for 2018.

The Stockport based rider missed out on this year’s Showdown, but has posted four podiums to date on the TAS Racing prepared S1000RR – a statistic he fully intends improving in the final five races this season, commencing this weekend at Assen in the Netherlands.

“I’m absolutely over the moon to have signed with Tyco BMW for a third season. For me it’s fantastic, as the team are a bunch of people I get on with incredibly well on every level. They give me their all, week-in-week-out, and from both sides, I know we feel we have more to give. It’s a relationship that works well. I believe in the BMW S1000RR and I certainly believe in the team and I know we can go out there and fight for the championship in 2018,” said Iddon.

“We’ve had our difficulties to overcome this past couple of years, but that’s behind us now and for me it’s great to have that stable platform for next year and I’m already looking ahead. We obviously need to keep working and finish this season off strongly, and enjoy it, then look forward to next season. I can’t wait.”
