OMG Suzuki boss Paul Curran has targeted a Bennetts British Superbike Showdown spot for his team in 2019.

The former Superstock rider has re-signed Gino Rea in his expanded squad which also features race winner Luke Mossey.

“I’m looking forward to working with Gino for a further season as we can build upon and grow what we have achieved this year. In the latter part of the year, everything was starting to click into place so if we can start from where we finished, with the further developments over the winter to improve the bike, we will be aiming for top five finishes and definitely a Showdown position,” said Curran.

“Team OMG are off to Cartagena at the end of this month for a few days of testing, so it will be great seeing Gino back in the saddle.”
