Motul, the world-famous French oil and lubricant company, has signed a deal to be World Superbike title sponsor for the next five years.

The agreement, which extends to a whole new level of partnership between the company and series promoter and organiser Dorna, has been warmly welcomed by all parties involved.

“This is a very exciting day for us” said Romain Grabowski, Motul Motorsport Manager, “because for the past twenty years we have been involved in MotoGP as well as in the Endurance World Championship. This is a new challenge for us and we are excited to be here and on the front row. This is a great day for Motul.

“We are working tirelessly with Dorna to be fully prepared for the upcoming year and this will be a very ambitious project for us,” he added. “This is still top secret, but we have lots of ideas and we are looking for next season to be a great one.”
