Devizes rider Tommy Bridewell has jumped ship from his Halsall Kawasaki squad and landed at Milwaukee Yamaha where he will replace Josh Waters.

"I need to thank Shaun Muir and Milwaukee Yamaha team for this incredible lifeline that they have given me and I am over the moon to be in this position and riding for such an established and respected team. Without a shadow of a doubt Shaun's team is one of the strongest in the BSB paddock and this is what I have worked so hard all my life for," said Bridewell.

"I have had a strong run of results recently and I hope that I can do a good job because believe me I am grabbing this opportunity with both hands! I feel I have grown as a rider over the past seasons and I now I just need to move forward, progress and to do the best job I can for Milwaukee Yamaha."
