Appleyard sign Perie and Truelove for 2022 Supersport bid

Four-time British Supersport Champions Appleyard Macadam Yamaha have signed Bradley Perie and Harry Truelove for their 2022 title campaign.

Perie (22) signed for the team last year and came out swinging with podiums and wins immediately, to actually lead the series, before some setbacks dropped him down to fourth, despite taking six victories.

The Kendal native comes into the new season with a different mindset, support crew and with a year of learning under his belt.

“I know lots of people say this but I’ve never felt better prepared going into a race season, I learned so much, good and bad but couldn’t do much to change things as we were racing pretty much every weekend,” said Perie.

“Now I’ve got two new mechanics, a year of experience and for the first time ever I’m going testing, I can’t wait.

This season the objective is clear and I feel confident we can go for wins again and push for the title.”

Truelove joins the team having ridden another Yamaha YZF-R6 machine over the past five seasons, finishing fifth last year and logging up three hard fought wins along the way.

The 25-year-old knows that this is his best chance to date as he joins the ‘Appy-Mac’ Yamaha squad, renowned for turning out some of the best Supersport machines on the planet, as shown by their front-running wildcard displays in WorldSBK.

“It feels good to be joining the team, they have a great set-up and long pedigree. We’ve always run a team ourselves but want to step it up in terms of professionalism which is what Appleyard Macadam provide. The wins showed me that we can be up there and my goal is to fight for the championship, it just takes a lot of hard work and a little luck,” Truelove added.
