Londoner Gino Rea has re-signed with the OMG Suzuki team for next year’s British Superbike series.

After a rollercoaster first season, Rea now has data for all the championship tracks and will benefit from having race winner Luke Mossey as a team-mate as the squad expands.

“I’m very pleased to continue my relationship with the OMG Racing team. We’ve learnt and developed so much this year and it only made sense to continue together. Towards the end of 2018 we started to show our potential and we were finding our way with the Suzuki GSX-R1000,” said Rea.

“I believe we can continue to improve our package so it’ll be important to have a solid few tests over the winter to head into 2019 as strong as possible.

“This will be the first time since 2010 that I have stayed on the same machinery and team for consecutive years which is something I’m really looking forward to, and I’m extremely grateful to OMG Racing for giving me that opportunity.”
