Martin Jessopp and Ridersmotorcycles.com BMW will return to the British Superbike Championship grid this season, feeling confident of further improvement as the team prepare to begin their pre-season testing programme.

Jessopp and the dealership run team continue with BMW power for the new season, ready to build on the 2017 season which included a top six finish in their home round of Thruxton.

“2018 should be a good season for us; we have a good place to start when we get testing underway and we just want to keep improving. We showed what we know we are capable of at Thruxton last year, so that should be the target to equal and then improve on that," said Jessopp.
