Powerslide Suzuki has confirmed its fourth rider for the 2026 BSB Sportbike season after its original choice pulled out of the season.

Cameron Dawson, former British Junior Supersport Champion, steps into the Powerslide Suzuki team for 2026 as a fourth rider in its BSB Sportbike team.

Dawson joins the team alongside Asher Durham, Finn Smart-Weeden, and Brodie Gawith, replacing Superteen champion Henry Snell who announced that he will not be returning to the BSB paddock in 2026 after originally signing with Powerslide.

“I’m super excited to join forces with Powerslide motorcycles Suzuki for the 2026 campaign,” said Dawson.

“For me, I believe this is a step in the right direction to prove we still have what it takes to fight for a second British championship. 

“I can’t thank Brad, Dave and Dale enough for this opportunity and I’m really looking forward to beginning our journey together and aim for it to be successful.”

Dave Tyson, Team Manager at Powerslide Racing, added: “We are very pleased to welcome Cam [Dawson] to the team. After Henry decided to step away from racing, it was always going to be a tough seat to fill, however I’m very pleased that Cam is joining the team.

“Cam is a two times British Champion and is another amazing talent to be part of the Powerslide team so we can’t wait to get him started on the Suzuki GSX-8R. This means we are back to full strength and with Asher [Durham], Finn [Smart-Weeden] and Brodie [Gawith] alongside, we have some great riders who can challenge for the title.”

Brad Clarke, Powerslide Racing Team Owner, said: “It is great to have another talented rider in the team and its shows the interest in the Suzuki GSX-8R after a great first year with it in 2025. 

“This really proves the work we have done as team to develop the Suzuki and now we have the chance to win our first championship as a Suzuki Official Team.”
