Tommy Bridewell will team up with three-time MCE British Superbike Champion Ryuichi Kiyonari for a two-pronged assault on the title in 2016. The Devizes rider goes back to Martin Halsall’s team where he rode at the back end of 2013 and is looking forward to re-joining the squad.

“I’m looking forward to riding for Bennetts Suzuki next season, and looking forward to enjoying my racing again. I’d had a few conversations with Martin [Halsall] towards the end of last season, and it became clear he wanted me onboard and I wanted to ride for the team,” said Bridewell.

“The team is capable of winning races and winning championships, and has a good structure in place, and that was important for me. I’m happy to be getting back on a Suzuki again. I started my career on a Suzuki and have ridden a few GSX-Rs in the past, and my brother rode a Suzuki as well, so we’re a bit of a Suzuki family. I’m excited about riding for them next season.”
