Isle of Man TT legend Ian Hutchinson has been confirmed with the Tyco BMW squad for next year’s roads season.

The Bingley rider, who took three wins at the 2015 TT, moves from the PBM Kawasaki team who are switching to Ducati power in 2016 and will ride BMW Motorrad S1000RR Superbike and Superstock machinery next season.

“We’ve been in negotiations for a couple of months, but I’ve always been serious about coming to the Tyco BMW team for next year. I’m really looking forward to getting going now with them in 2016.

“After pretty much four years away from the sport I now need a bit of consistency. BMW is a huge brand and along with Philip Neill at TAS, they have shown how much they want to be involved with me for next season. That enthusiasm sold it to me and with direct support from BMW Motorrad it was hard to turn them down.”
