Jake Dixon has split with the Tsingato MV Agusta British Supersport team during the summer break and is now on the hunt for a replacement ride.

Dixon had already taken a podium finish on the Varese-made middleweight but says he feels the need to move on before the season starts again at Knockhill.

“This has been a very difficult decision for me and certainly isn’t one that’s been taken half heartedly, I’ve scored MV’s only ever podium and I’m proud of both myself and the whole team for this but I feel now is the time to move on,” said Dixon.

“I desperately want to win whatever class I’m in and hope to be able to announce a new ride soon, my very best wishes and thanks go to Dave Tyson and the whole team for the job they did up until now.”
