Buildbase BMW have today confirmed that Lincolnshire youngster Lee Jackson has signed for a second year with the team, and will stay in the MCE British Superbike Championship.

Jackson is the youngest rider on the British Superbike grid, and he has improved round after round, culminating in a career best fifth place at Brands Hatch yesterday.

The 20-year-old moved to the Builbase BMW squad three years ago after winning the Superstock 600 Championship in his debut year.

After spending two years in the Superstock 1000 category he moved up to the Superbike class this year and the 2016 season will mark his fourth year with the Buildbase squad.

Team Manager, Steve Hicken, has also confirmed their second rider will be announced in due course.

“I’m really happy to be staying with Buildbase BMW next year. We’ve got a great team here with an awesome package with the BMW S1000RR. We’ve had a good year, but as a rider I’m always looking for better results and I feel that next year, with a season under my belt, we can push on further towards the top six,” said Jackson.

“Considering he only turned 20 a couple of weeks ago, Lee has had a brilliant season this year. He’s one of the youngest riders on the grid and has shown himself to be a top ten challenger and even been fighting for top six positions this year. He’s developed a lot as a rider throughout the year, found some consistency and each weekend he takes another step forward”, said Steve Hicken, Team Manager.

“It’s great that we’ve secured him for a fourth consecutive season next year, as I’m really confident in his potential for the future.”
