PR Racing will expand to a two-rider line-up in 2021 after signing Brad Jones to ride alongside Joe Francis in the Bennetts British Superbike series.

The Liverpool-based team have retained Francis for a third season after he claimed the team top ten finishes during this year’s campaign and now the Chester-based rider is aiming for further progression in 2021 with the new BMW Superbike.

Brad Jones will complete the team’s Superbike line-up as he makes his debut in the class in 2021. The 22-year-old from Stalbridge has finished runner-up the past two seasons in the Quattro Group British Supersport Championship and is now keen to make the step up to the premier class.

“This will be a fantastic opportunity to build on the consistent development from myself and the team over the last two years,” said Francis.

“Towards the end of the 2020 season, we really stepped up as we closed the gap and ran with the leading pack. I can’t wait to swing my leg over the new bike and start testing.”

Jones added: “I’m very excited to get going, I know I have a lot of learning to do but that’s all part of the process. The excitement is really high for 2021 and get my first taste of the Superbike. At this stage of my career, stepping up into Superbikes and benefitting from all of the team’s experience, is a great opportunity for me.”
