Talented Irish youngster Jack Kennedy will remain with the Team WD40 operation into next year to contest the 2016 MCE British Superbike Championship.

The Irish youngster hasn’t had the best of rookie seasons with two bad injuries but he will return in 2016 fully formed with Brent Gladwin entirely behind him.

"I'm really happy to be staying with Brent and Team WD40.  It's great to have everything sorted early and I think a second season will work well to our advantage.  We can build on all the hard work and lessons learnt over this season to make big steps in 2016,” said Kennedy.

Although this season has been difficult with our fair share of of bad luck and injuries, I've still enjoyed the challenge of getting to the front in a really tough championship.  We have made great progress in a short space of time and that's down to hard graft and team work.  I've got a great crew around me who are as determined as me to make it happen so together we should be a force to be reckoned with.  2016 looks like we have everything in place to make a big impact next season and I can't wait for it to get started.”
