Nick Morgan and the MSS Performance team have elected to sit out the 2020 Pirelli National Superstock 1000 season as the business has been hit particularly hard by coronavirus.

Following an eight year hiatus, the team’s much anticipated reappearance in the Superstock class is now being postponed even further, a decision that has not been made lightly and is to the disappointment of both Kawasaki and Morgan.

“We have had an extremely difficult eight weeks in business as soon as the announcement was made that race tracks will close due to Covid-19," said the Essex geeza.

"MSS trade globally so the effect from the pandemic has hit us hard, but we have started to bounce back and we will be more than fired up for the 2021 BSB Superstock 1000 Championship.”

The MSS Performance crew will still be ever present in the British Superbike paddock as the official Team Green Technical Partner.

The involvement of MSS Performance will be integral to the success of many other Kawasaki teams in various classes throughout the series, as they provide their expertise both on and off the track.

Additionally the team are excited to still be involved at Junior Supersport level with Australian rider, Seth Crump who is the Son of former Speedway World Champion Jason Crump and will be campaigning the MSS Performance prepared Kawasaki Ninja 400.
